Chuck In Oregon Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 This is from the collection of the artist I mentioned in The Lounge. If there is a better forum for recruiting posters, I invite you to move it there.When he took this in to be framed the frame shop mis-understood and dry-mounted it instead. What a shame, but it still looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I know that they were not made to last! How are they preserved so well? Are they affixed to a backing of some sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck In Oregon Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 The first one is dry-mounted now, sad to say. I don't know how it stayed in such good condition over the past 60+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Is being dry mounted a bad thing? Please forgive my ignorance here, but it seems like it would prevent it from tearing or falling apart due to bending and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRANGEL Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hello, two "Legion des Volontaires Francais" recruiting posters from my vintage posters collection. I choosed to have them backed on linen because it helps save the posters (no more tears and desacidification of the paper) and more over if there are some paper losses it can be easily restored. When not hanged on a wall (please don't put posters too long in the day or moon light otherwise within a couple of years all the colours will fade away) you can roll them (when there big, like the one with the knight which is 160 x 120 cm it is very convenient) and put them in a tube. This method is reversible and it is used by most of the Posters museum around the world. By the way what is dry-mounted ? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
