This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $145 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.

No. 1392 Lois Mailou Jones (American, b. 1905). Petite Ballerina, 1982. Acrylic on canvas, 37 x 32 in. Published by Pomegranate Publications, Box 6099, Rohnert Park, CA 94927. Designed by Tim Lewis. Printed in Korea.
"In Petite Ballerina, the artist uses the image of the young female initiate as she appears in a dance headdress of cowrie shells and monkey hair. The female ancestral figure which Jones has juxtaposed against the image of the young girl indicates that the ancestral past is a link between generations of creativity." - Penn State University Libraries
