- 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 lovely view ofview of Killiney Bay with tourists on a bluff overlooking both a long beach and CIE's rail lines. The cliffs of Bray Head and farms of Ireland rise in the background.
Costello worked as a full-time civil servant from 17 years of age but managed to combine this with a successful career as a painter as well. She designed several posters for CIE in the 1940s and 1950s and exhibited with The Hendriks Gallery in Dublin, with solo shows in 1962, 1965, 1971 and 1975.
