- 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.

An aerial view of the Franz Josef Glacier and the original Douglas Bridge, which was replaced in 1936. Annotated with altitude markings and various geographical highlights, the poster shows a vast expanse of terrain, from the village of Franz Josef / Waiau up to the peak of the Minarets, 10,050 feet above sea level.
Another rare and wonderful New Zealand travel poster.
