- 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.

VERY VERY rare and possibly the greatest of Soviet constructivist photo-montage posters.
This poster is in the Chuvash language not in Russian. Chuvashia was a part of the Soviet Union and now is Chuvashia Republic of Russia.
The text reads:
[On statue]To Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin
[On banner] Long live the flowering of culture of the peoples of the USSR
[On upper banner] Long live the great party of Lenin-Stalin, which is the leader and organizer of the victorious creation of socialism!
[On bottom banner] The country of socialism hails the great poet!
Please note this poster has great original color, there in another example floating around the internet that is very badly faded.
