- 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.

Possibly the greatest, rarest, and most important poster by Ben Shahn. Created for Progressive Party Presidential Candidate Henry Wallace. The poster offers a negative image of both Democrat Harry Truman and Republican Thomas Dewey. The poster is based on an earlier photo of, then Vice President, Truman playing a piano with Lauren Bacall laying across the top of it.
