I think the key here is common sense. if, for example, the Hard Rock Cafe bought three dozen 6-sheets for Pia Zadora films and had them professionally linen-backed and framed, that would not be smart, that would be insane.

I had a shop here in my area that was a 50's diner theme. They took all the movie posters, lobby cards, etc., and glue them to the walls. They were in business for about 20 years and recently closed, leaving all the posters on the wall. Most of the posters were not in good shape anymore, having had food or drink splashed on them, kids that tried to peel them off while sitting in the booth, etc. There were several titles, though, that were much more valuable titles today than they were when I sold them to them in the 80's. Lot's of 50's sci-fi and hot rod type movies. So, when the place was being redone for a new shop in the space, all those posters were ripped off the wall like wallpaper would be and trashed....oh well... I use to work with the Hard Rock Café chain doing the same thing and am happy to say, the owners were smart enough to spend the money to preserve all the items they purchased and continue to purchase.

Six sheets are problematic, let alone extremely expensive to custom frame. I do often have 6 sheets linenbacked and have them leave about 3" of excess linen and then stretch it on a stretcher bar the way you would a painting. That gives you something to hang it up with. However, you have to build a good stretcher bar with supports in the middle of the square so the poster doesn't sag over time. The fabric is a bit different in it's characteristics when it has paint on it. Paint acts as a natural sealant and doesn't allow the fabric to stretch much. Paper mounted to the fabric doesn't do the same thing so, unless it's stretched properly, it can keep on stretching and sag. Of course, the poster displayed this way, or any way, without a plexiglass covering, does leave it susceptible to junk in the air or something getting spilled on it, especially if you have little hands in the house that like to touch everything. I had a customer once who had a very expensive title he wanted to hang without the cost of framing. It was a poster worth well over $20,000. Framing was about $3000. My feeling is if you have something of that value, you just got to spring for the framing to protect it......

Pretty inexpensive and looks great on the wall.

Once the grommets are in place you can even hang it, like a tapestry, with decorative chain. One thing to do is put grommets in the bottom two corners and middle also and then put a wooden dowel behind the bottom of the excess linen, put washers ands screws through the front of the excess linen and now you have a weight to hold the poster from rolling up on you from the bottom....good luck.

Get some circular metal grommets and have someone cut matching size holes in the top, and put around five or six across the top. Then put hooks in the wall and voila! It is not perfect, and your poster will pick up dust and dirt, but it is cheap and quick. On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 3:23 PM, Phillip W.
