- 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 massive cloud labeled “U.S. Production” emerges from American factories, forming into a giant clenched fist, looming ominously over caricatured Axis leaders, Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo, who smugly proclaim "Might makes right." The image conveys the message that American industrial strength is a formidable force against tyranny and aggression, emphasizing the critical role of U.S. manufacturing in the war effort.
This poster is one from a series of ten privately printed anti-Axis production posters created for Philco. Extremely rare Ameican corporate propaganda, work incentive illustrations.
