- 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.

As only the French could, fork in hand, a diner gleefully awaits his appetizer of escargots (snails in garlic butter) as he peers over a giant leaf. The oblivious snail, still in the shell, leaves a trail across the leaf spelling out the name of Menetrel, purveyor of exquisite escargot.
