This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $225 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.
ZIP-(Zone Improvement Plan) Code Established in 1963, the system of 5-digit codes that identifies the individual post office or metropolitan area delivery station associated with an address. Dated 1963, this poster is certainly from the first implentation of Zip Codes.
