A giraffe's long neck rises right alongside the tall tail fin of an SAS airliner on a black ground, under the tongue-in-cheek line "No giraffes, please", a witty play on the two matching silhouettes. The poster is dated to around 1950 in this collection, and its artist is not recorded. Scandinavian Airlines System had been formed in 1946 from the national airlines of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and its advertising of the period often favored a light, humorous touch to introduce the young airline to travelers.
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.
