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.
Convair Superjets powered by General Electric. As this poster has no TWA logo or printing information, this weird and wonderful piece was probably created by GE to promote the use of their engines by TWA in the hugely unsuccessful General Dynamics Coviar aircraft
Please not old tape stain bleeding through from the back of the poster at bottom center.
