- 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.

Flagg's self portrait as Uncle Sam stands hands on hips and jaw set demand promoting War Savings Stamps. Flagg later claimed he painted himself in the mirror as Uncle Sam to save the price of hiring a model.
Probaby the rarest of Flagg's World War I posters. Supposedly, it was printed and recalled as being too militaristic an image and reprinted as a similar poster with the text I'm Telling You
Very slight traces of old fold lines visible.
