- 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.

Color offset-printed pictorial map advertising the Caronia's route on a two-and-a-half-month's-long journey. Departing New York for the Caribbean and South American coast, rounding Africa, into Mediterranean waters via the Suez Canal, along the coasts of Portugal and France, and ultimately reaching port at Southampton.
Rare, and wonderful illustration.
