This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $145 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.
Possibly the rarest of 1964 New York World’s Fair posters.
A smiling family of fairgoers, enjoy the spendor of the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, New York and other sights at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The Unisphere is a spherical stainless steel representation of the Earth designed by Gilmore D. Clark to be the theme symbol of the New York World Fair. Each child holds a balloon with the United Air logo and slogan "I Flew on United, the Extra Care Airline".
