Star Trek US 1 Sheet Advance Original Film Poster 27×41″ LINEN BACKED 1979 This is a Vintage Theatrical Linen backed US One Sheet Film Poster (measuring 27″x41). This was linen backed by Backing to the Future (Canada). There has been some very careful fold line / cross fold touch-ins. Please feel free to ask for more information or photos. The poster we have for sale is Vintage and Original and legitimate. Print runs (meaning the number of posters made at the time of a films release) were much smaller than they are today. Print techniques were different and poster styles/designs and artistry were also very different. Linen Backing is a long established process, used for the conservation of vintage posters, that allows them to be safely rolled for storage as well as being framed for display. During the process of linen backing it is also possible to restore areas needing touch-ins/ups, missing paper, heavy fold lines, ink marks, pin holes and tape residue. We have always gone with the rule that we only ever have a vintage poster restored if strictly necessary. In general we have also only ever had posters backed if we have known they were intended to be framed (or the poster was in really poor condition). We would never recommend framing a valuable poster that wasn’t on linen and we would also steer heavily against cheap off the shelf frames. Framing is also key when purchasing a vintage and valuable poster. It is really important to note that having a poster linen backed isn’t’cheap’ but it is an investment in the poster itself. It may be possible to get linen backing done in the UK but from our own experience the linen & artwork is of poorer quality and the communication hasn’t been anywhere near as good (which in our eyes is key to achieving the results you want on a poster). So all of this is to say, a linen backed poster will be more expensive than one which hasn’t been backed (and for good reason). Any questions please feel free to ask. Over the last 3-4 years our circumstances have changed massively due to ill health & I have closed my own business to become a full time carer for my husband. So that is what we have done. All items are carefully packaged.
