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.

Charles I looks down Whitehall to his place of execution; one of his sons dressed curiously as a Roman emperor stands not far away; Wolfe surveys the widening Thames from the heights of Greenwich. Less Prosaic persons are also on view. At Hyde Park Corner, Peace descends to still the prancing horses of war; Andromeda is in perpetual rescue outside the Tate Gallery; Peter Pan pipes to a startled miscellany of smaller folk in Kensington Gardens.
We also have other London Underground posters available.
