This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $80 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.

Not sure of the meaning of this poster or the fill in the blank nature of the text. I bellieve it is an anti-nuclear weapon protest poster and the user was meant to add information about ongoing nuclear bomb tests with information including the Country, Date (of test) and the force of the device compared to that exploded at Hiroshima. We have never seen another example
Sobering image in black and white of a nuclear cloud rising high above a mountain range.
Please note original fold lines.
