- 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.

Confident, independent “everyday” women roll up their sleeves when the country needs them. Dominated by the architectural typographic word "WOMEN", the stylishl;y chic patriotic workers actively build, repair, and maintain heavy equipment and infrastructure.
Grant, best known for his work in commercial illustration and advertising—including his long association with Kellogg’s—brought a clear, accessible graphic style to wartime imagery, focusing on labor and patriotism for a wide American audience.

One of my all time favorite WWII posters and quite rare.
