This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $315 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.
James Algar Walt Disney desert outdoors wildlife documentary ("Fabulously Beautiful! Excitingly Different! Savagely Real!"; "A true life adventure feature"; "The Living Desert is the story of the eternal desert - a strange world of incredible ugliness and fantastic beauty, seemingly without purpose of life. How anything can live in this land of heat, sun, sand and soundless space is a mystery to most of us. Yet, where we find only a dead and desolate wasteland, nature finds life. Walt Disney's first feature-length True Life Advanture, The Living Desert, pictorially unfolds again the ancient drama of the struggle for existence. It is unlike anything of its kind ever before brought to the motion picture screen. Our cameras have pried into secrets of nature few have ever witnessed. To see it... is to peer back into time a million years."; winner of the Best Documentary Academy Award)
