- 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.

A cloud-like wing, suggestive of Air France's
logo of the flying seahorse, lifts off to display the modern cities and verdant jungles of South America, specifically Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Buenos-Aires, Argentina, and the Amazon River. In a clever graphic arrangement, the wing is in the shape of South America. A Lockheed Constellation flies overhead. Air France p. 43.
Printed in France - Perceval, Paris.
