This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $215 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.
These Dangerous Years (released in the U.S. in 1958 as "Dangerous Youth"), the 1957 Herbert Wilcox English military crime comedy musical ("Rock 'n' Roll King Drafted!"; "What happens when the Army gets its hands on the King of Rock 'n' Roll!"; "He's got too much hair and too much jive and too many girls who wouldn't stay home!"; "One guy tried to cut him down to size - with switch blades!"; "The Whole Story Of The Hottest Trouble-Maker The Army Ever Tried To Tame!"; "Frankie! He's a sensation... slugging and singing his way through a great dramatic story!"; "Story and Screenplay by Jack Trevor Story"; "Top singing star Frankie Vaughan, Sensational in a great Dramatic and Song Role!"; "Hear Him Sing...'Cold, Cold Shower', 'These Dangerous Years'"; obviously based on Elvis Presley's being inducted into the Army, and made five years before "Bye Bye Birdie" explored the same plotline).
