This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $145 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.

A lovely water level view of a Seattle-based Alaska Steamship Company ship "along Alaska's sheltered seas. Towering cliffs and waterfalls line the waterway with deep green pine trees along the edges, and majestic snow covered mountains in the background.
The Alaska Steamship Company came into being in 1894 and stopped carrying passengers in 1954, five years before Alaska became America's 49th state.
