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.

Great mid-century illustration with stylized iconic Chicago landmarks set against a vibrant purple background, including the Chicago Water Tower, Buckingham Fountain, Edward Kemey's Lion sculpture in front of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a silhouette of the city skyline. A jet soars overhead.
Please note slight staining and minor losses along right edge. Linen backing would help address these issues.
