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.

Boynton's signature whimsical animal characters floating in a hot air balloon shaped like a big red apple over the NYC skyline.
"New York is Book Country" was a legendary literary street fair and festival that took over Fifth Avenue in Manhattan every autumn, running annually from 1979 until 2010. Famous for celebrating the joy of reading, the fair featured over 175 publisher and bookseller booths and commissioned iconic promotional posters from legendary artists like Maurice Sendak and Keith Haring.
We are happy to offer posters from several years inculding both posters from the inaugural 1979 Fair.
