- Linen backed
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.
The price of this poster includes linen backing.

Perched high on the west bank of the Hudson River north of New York City, West Point served as the site of forts guarding the Hudson during the Revolutionary War. It has also served as the seat of the United States military academy since 1802. For the New York Central System’s Empire State Express, Ragan depicts one of New York Central’s trains zooming past a dramatically lit background.
