An airliner passes over a stately building against a blue sky in this German-language poster, "Nach Finnland mit dem Luftexpress", to Finland by air express. Aimed at travelers in the German-speaking world, it promoted the Scandinavian air connections that linked central Europe with Helsinki. The artist and date are not recorded. Finland's own airline, Aero, today's Finnair, began flying in 1923 between Helsinki and Tallinn, and in the 1930s Aero and Sweden's AB Aerotransport promoted joint connections that put London and Paris within a day's travel of the Finnish capital.
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.
Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
