This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $225 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.

Very rare Australian WWI poster. Striking portrait of Edith Cavell, a British Nurse who treated soldiers from both sides without discrimination during WWI and for helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium. Cavell was arrested, court-martialed under German military law and sentenced to death by firing squad. The execution received worldwide condemnation and extensive press coverage.
Printed by E.B. Studios, Sydney Australia.
Please note tears and losses along top and right edge and original fold lines. Linen backing would address these issues.
