- 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.

Founded three decades after the Young Men's Christian Association, the YMHA was centered around the mental, moral, social, and physical improvement of Jewish young men. In 1972 renamed the 92nd Street Y, the organization now reaches out beyond its core constituency of American Jews to serve people of diverse racial, religious, ethnic and economic backgrounds, offering an array of programing including art, culture, educational and other programs.
