- 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.

Photographed before linen backing.John Held, Jr., the King of Jazz Age Illustration was a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Life, Harper's Bazaar, Redbook and other popular magazines. One of America's top cartoonists in the 1920s and 1930s, his immediately recognizable iconic figures including flapper girls and guys were a tremendous sensation and came to visually epitomize the roaring 20s. Among his many works was a significant series of travel posters and accompanying brochures/timetables.
