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.

One of eight poster prints by Jackson, made as a fundraising project for civil rights organizations. We purchased a set of these posters in the original tube with the return address "Central Ill. Friends of SNCC, 801 S. Wright St, Champaign, Ill."
This print refers to the murders of Michael Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman in Mississippi in 1964.
