- 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.

A gunner standing on the wings of Deperdussin TT monoplane firing a machine gun, promoting Russian war bonds to fund the effort. Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum has a photo of machine gunner standing atop the plane. Many sites state that "While engineers mounted machine guns on a few planes for tests, pilots never used them in real combat."
One of the greatest, and rarest propaganda posters of the First World War. An incredibly striking image and bold early aviation poster.
Photographed before linen backing. Please note small loss to top right corner, this will be restored with linen backing.
