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.
Dan Reisinger, an Israeli graphic designer and artist, created four stamps for the 1964 Olympics, each depicting a different Olympic sport: volleyball, basketball, discus throwing and running. Above the stamps hangs a large red circle, a reference to Kamekura Yusaku’s logo for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. First day of issue stamps create the five Olympic rings.
