- 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.

Extraordinarily rare early commercial aviation poster. An Armstrong Whitworth AW.15 flies over the thatched huts of an African village as a group of colorfully dress natives thresh grain. The identifier shown on the fueselage, G-ABPI indicates that this was the Atalanta delivered to Imperial Airways on 6 June 1932, the first of only 8 aircraft built, all delivered by 1933.
