- 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.

A bright, abstract, kaleidoscopic view of Times Square, with its billboards, lights, traffic, energy and excitement. The electric Day-Glo colors exude the visual splendor of the city. This is the rare first printing of the poster, featuring a detailed image of a TWA Constellation. Later versions depict the silhouette of a jet plane. A year after it was issued, an example of this poster was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art for their permanent collection. This is the original printing.
