Here is a scroll of the most interesting vintage posters which we linen backed and restored this past year: 2023. Our 42nd year in business! We restore antique, vintage posters by "Linen Backing" them. Linen backing is when we take a poster and mount it to a piece of acid-free paper and cotton canvas. It is an archival mounting process and helps the poster be stronger so that it lasts longer. #vintageposter #originalposter #poster #artrestoration #circus #circusposters #postercolour #linenbacking #posterrestoration #lithography #travelposter #circusworld #movieposters #woodcutting #printing
