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. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.

The Carracci family—Annibale, Agostino, and Ludovico—were pivotal in creating the Baroque style, focusing on naturalism rather than the artificiality of Mannerism.
The poster features a print of a dragon-like monster surrounded by figures, characteristic of fantastical creature from the period.
