I have a 90cm x 125cm german film poster from 1930 that needs backing. It's
relatively solid, considering its age, but tending to brittle/split/crack along
the folds and won't survive without mounting. What is the current thinking
about linen versus paper for something like this? Does it matter that it's a
european poster? I've seen a couple of references to paper-backing being
preferable to linen recently, but am aware that this might not be correct. Does
the size of this poster suggest that linen is the best way forward, even if
it's going to be displayed immediately upon mounting? also, as there will be
some fold-line and other restoration work, would a linen mount provide a better
base?
So many questions! Anyone have a view on this? Thanks in advance.CheersNeil
