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.
Created for American Gospel singer Mahalia Jackson's Easter Concert at Lincoln Center. Milton Glaser one of the most influential American designers of the second half of the twentieth century created the poster using Jackson's profile. This poster weakens to his iconic Bob Dylan poster.
