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.

In 1871 Cutty Sark, heavily laden with the first tea crop, raced from Shanghai in 108 days. She carried 32,000 square feet of sail and was capable of 17 1/2 knots. She now rests dry berthed at Greenwich, the last of the clippers, sole survivor of an age.
The free leaflet A Day out at Greenwich described the many interesting things to be explored there. Please write for a copy to the Public Relations Officer, 55 Broadway, Westminster, S.W.I. or ask at any London Transport Enquiry Office.
Please note slight tears along bottom and right edge.
We also have other London Underground posters available.
