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.

The World's Largest Airline
Silhouette of a propeller driven aircraft soars over a beautiful aerial illustration of the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de l'Étoile, in 1970 renamed Place Charles de Gaulle, lit up at night. A fun detail is the location of Air France’s Paris ticket office identified in red.
Please note this is rare third 1959 printing. We have seen 4 different printings, each with a different type of aircraft.
