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.

Greenwich was early in the space business. Flamsteed House was built by Wren for the first Astronomer Royal and is now part of the National Maritime Museum. Stand in the delightful Octagon Room where great astronomers have explored the Universe, and peer at St. Paul's though the London haze. Admire Herschel's giant 20-foot reflecting telescope, and, outside in the courtyard, stand astride the Greenwich Meridian with literally a foot in each hemisphere. Open free, Mondays to Saturdays 10-6, Sundays 2:30-6
