Tivoli guardsmen and the towers and spires of Copenhagen crowd a deep blue sky in this 1956 SAS poster, which hails the Danish capital as the "Air-World Crossroads" and invites travelers to see wonderful Copenhagen. A French edition of the campaign used the line "Carrefour des routes aériennes du monde", crossroads of the world's air routes. The artist is not recorded. The slogan reflected real ambition: from its Copenhagen hub SAS opened the first scheduled polar route, to Los Angeles, in 1954, followed by a polar service to Tokyo in 1957.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
