- 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.

For Brühl, a Berlin, Germany notions store, Gipkens plunges an embroidery needle into the heart of a fabric holder, threading a final touch to the richly-hued floral pattern, at the same time sewing-up a sumptuously composed design. (Rennert)
Julius Gipkens, heavily influenced by the work of Lucian Bernhard, was a graphic designer in Berlin during the first half of the 20th century.
Please note this is on old linen backing with significant restoration. A lovely and early example of German design and poster art created by 29 year old Julius Gipkens.
