This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $190 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
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.

Khazoom Cooryr migrated to Australia in 1898. In 1910, before taking a trip to Syria, she applied for a Certificate of Exemption from the Dictation Test (CEDT)—a restrictive administrative hurdle faced by non-European residents under the White Australia policy. Her urgent application was supported by character references and successfully granted. Her original archival records are preserved by the National Archives of Australia.
One of an amazing series of posters by Peter Drew an Australian artist whose work is concerned with memory, nationalism, masculinity, criminality, brown paper and mythology.
