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.
Original 1967 Beatle's poster comes from the Look shoot by photographer Richard Avedon. In 1967, at the apex of the "Flower Power" era, Look Magazine commissioned famed photographer Richard Avedon to do a set of individual portraits of the members of the most popular rock and roll group of the day - the Beatles. After appearing in the magazine, Look offered the photos as a set of four prints. Here, George Harrison poses as a mystical guru, perfectly capturing that fleeting moment in history.
Please note water stains on right side and slight losses to corners, linen backing would resolve this issue.
