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.

Full printers sheet of slipcover for E. Maurice Bloch's definitive book, The Drawings of George Caleb Bingham: A Catalogue Raisonné, was published in 1975 by the University of Missouri Press.
The drawings of American 19th-century frontier artist George Caleb Bingham serve as the intimate, precise foundations for his iconic genre scenes. Numbering over 180 known sketches—primarily executed in pencil, ink, and chalk—these studies capture the raw, localized life along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
