- 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.

Extremely rare and wonderful poster for wine retailer Nicolas.
Dransy's memorable, wide-eyed delivery man labors under the weight of red wine bottles on his left and white wine bottles on his right. The first version done in 1922, this image was so popular that it was used and reused over the years and appears in many different sizes and with slightly different text, usually appearing bearing the firm name "Nicolas." Weill 373 (var), Memoire de la Rue 96 (var).
Edition H. Perrier, Paris.
Please note minor restoration to original fold lines.
