"Should I Get My Valuable Vintage Treasures (Posters) Linen Backed?

What are investors and collectors REALLY putting their money on?

One question I am asked all the time is, should get my old poster linen backed?

.

And there’s not one answer.   For example,  prior to 1970 most poster paper was Not acid free so the acidic poster paper turns yellow and becomes brittle.   In addition, having a vintage poster laid down on a flexible linen backing removes all the folds, wrinkles and creases, and also makes it possible to repair damage and age related deterioration. The result is a vintage poster that now displays with an amazing look and feel.   Namely, a spectacular piece of Art!

.

That said, some collectors do not like any restoration at all to their vintage treasures and want the Unrestored authenticity of a poster that looks like it was just taken off the wall of a movie theater or a  Woolworth’s picture window 70-80 years ago.     My personal preference lies in the middle.  I do love many of my posters linen backed but I also find most appealing the wear and tear that is part of the piece’s natural vintage beauty. 

.

For example, the old remnants of a poster like vintage tape stains on the edges, or some vintage sepia toning I find an intricate part of its beauty.    I have three original “JAWS” posters. Two I have linen backed and they look Amazing. But a third “JAWS” Poster I acquired has just the right touch of vintage wear that adds a valuable layer of authenticity and aesthetic beauty.   .

 Yes, I love oxidized 50-90 year old  tape stains!.

Here is some of our Masterpiece Poster Art that has been professionally linen backed. Take a look as I suspect you will agree how a stunning they look after linen backing. SEE HERE
