Vintage Poster Works Linen Backing Info

Linen backing is an archival poster conservation method. The poster is mounted with wheat paste onto acid free paper, which has been adhered to canvas. This is known as and called "linen" in the trade. This process provides stability to the piece. Lined posters may be rolled, are ready for framing, and are easier to handle overall.

Should a lined poster sustain physical damage in the future, poster removal is possible.
This cannot be said for most other mounting methods.
Vintage Poster Works does not provide this service.
We ourselves have our posters linen backed by paper conservation professionals.
