This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $145 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.

Beginning in 1970 and for the next 19 summers, the Herman Miller company picnic was announced with a series of posters as eagerly anticipated as the event itself. The Michigan firm is a designer/manufacturer of distinguished Modern furniture--most notably, perhaps, for the Eames chair--so it's no surprise that the posters are also models of excellent design. The work of company creative director Steve Frykholm, the posters in this series are not only clear, bold, and bright, but also loaded with appetite appeal, seasonal aptness, and delicious humor. A complete set of all 20 posters is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
