- 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.

"With fellow artist Percy Trompf, Northfield was represented in Australian displays of international travel posters. No other poster artist's works were reproduced in such volume" (Trading Places / Australian Travel Posters p. 28). One of Australia's most renowned attractions, the Great Barrier Reef was the subject of a handful of posters during the 1930s. Percy Trompf, Gert Selheim and Eileen Mayo all designed images focusing on the extraordinary natural beauty of this wonder of the natural world. Northfield p. 52.
One of the rarest and most beautiful of Northfield’s travel posters.
