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.

This poster is from the first 1971 series of Swissair posters designed by Schutless and photographed by Gerster. These posters were created in 1971, 1979 and 1996 by Swissair, each series is identifiable by the different Swissair logo used at the time of the printing. There is a great reference book "Georg Gerster: Swissair Posters" which illustrated the compete group of posters.
