- Linen backed
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.
The price of this poster includes linen backing.

Very are second poster designed by Lautrec to advertise a novel by the Polish author Victor Joze. In the poster, a stiff Prussian officer sits atop a horse, a not-so-subtle jab at the German military. The poster caused a stir, offending the German ambassador to France and nearly starting an international incident.
This is the first state of the poster before lettering was added by someone other than Lautrec.
Please note B- condition EXTENSIVE restoration to the bottom 4 inches.
