- 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.

Between 1942-1944 Boris Artzybasheff created a series of WWII posters for the Spencer Steel Company. Each piece depicted one or more product of the steel company in the Allied cause against the Axis. An extremely rare privately printed series.
