- 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.

Two camels adorned in tassel covered harnesses are led by a traditionally dressed Egyptian while the icons of Egypt, the pyramids and the Great Sphinx, stand proudly in the background. A Lockheed Constellation soars through the clear blue skies.
This is the rare earlier Constellation version, a later printing was created with a jet aircraft.
