This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $190 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.

One of the 504 Buddha statues of the Borobudur Mahayana Buddhist Temple stands beside a collection of stupa. The most active volcano in Indonesia, Mount Merapi, emits smoke in the background.
Interestingly, while the poster is promoting Hindu Temples, the image is of a Buddhist temple.

Please note two tears at top and losses to right edge. Linen backing would resolve these issues.
