This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $190 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.

To be good is not enough, when you dream of being great.
"Paul Davis' first poster for the College was his 1978 iconic interpretation of Dee Ito’s copy “To be good is not enough, when you dream of being great.” Though most viewers would probably not recognize the inspiration for the image (a later-in-life photo of Toulouse-Lautrec muse Yvette Guilbert), they certainly could not resist the expression of sweet hopefulness on the face of the poster’s subject.” SVANumbered 28/100 and signed by Paul Davis.
