Re: [MOPO] Linen-backing versus Paper-backing

Neil, According to any "good" paper conservationist, you should NEVER back paper artifacts with any kind of canvas. The rule of thumb is to always use "like" materials.

Phil, There were always some who preferred the non-backed poster and paid more for it but, in general, 3 or 4 years ago the fashion seemed to be "linen-backing is the only way to fly, and all other things being equal between two identical posters, you should expect and want to pay more for th
