- 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.

Color offset-printed pictorial map advertising the RMS Caronia's route that coincided with the coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II, who had christened the ship six years earlier. The route traveled from the United States through Strait Of Gibraltar, then returning to the Atlantic Ocean, passing through the Irish Sea before circumnavigating Scotland, sailing to Oslo, Norway and ending its voyage in London, England. Surrounding the map are mythical and and sea creatures holding flags of the United Stated and members of the Commonwealth.
We also have another Cunard route map poster available.
