About Linen-Backing:
Linen-backing is an exacting preservation technique that enhances both the visual appeal and longevity of movie posters. The process involves carefully mounting the poster onto premium linen using archival-quality adhesives, ensuring it remains perfectly flat, smooth, and free from wrinkles or tears. Existing minor damage (e.g., small tears, pinholes) is expertly restored during the process, often with hand-painted color revival and detail work. This method provides essential structural support, prevents further deterioration from handling or humidity, and significantly increases the poster’s value and longevity.
