This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $300 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.
Rare and lovely poster for classic American fiction full of adventure, gumption and fortitude: a perfect series of subjects for Penfield, one of America's most important 19th-century graphic artists – and the perfect complement to this novel, illustrated by another top American graphic artist, W.A. Rogers.
Please note fold lines and losses to corners and right edge.
