After seeing that fellow members were posting a number of their fav, backed posters in Zorba's collection, here's a separate thread to post your linen backed wonders. Maybe the mods could move the few posts from Zorba's thread to this one, so they are all together?

A few things to discuss, even briefly, about your backed posters: Did you purchase it already backed? If not, your reason for backing- conservation, preservation etc. If your poster is newer, your reason for choosing to have it backed. Could make for some interesting perspectives and discussion.

I need to re-upload some images of the handful I have. They will be forthcoming.

FFDM Belgian RR - Bought it on the eBay for the price of an unbacked one... Minor work near top middle...

Amadeus 2-Fogli Linen from Bruce's Sig Auction. Was less than the cost to get one backed and this was is so nice without folds.

Roman Holiday Japanese B2 Gotta love Audrey!

Nice, Charlie.

Beautiful ROMAN HOLIDAY--that image of Hepburn is amazing; she looks

And the Italian 2 Fogli for AMADEUS is the best poster for the film, IMO.

here's one I bought backed, I didn't buy because backed, would have preferred not, but it was and the price was right.:

A french moyenne size that I picked up, already backed, for CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (RR62):

I bought this when I was new in the hobby and thought "backed might be better." If I could go back, I would look for and buy this un-backed, if the condition warranted it.

It is no secret that I don't like linenbacking my posters. I've made a few early mistakes by linenbacking mint condition posters, simply because I didn't know better (ET, Psycho, North by Northwest, Lawrence of Arabia). I acquired a few, mostly French posters, because I simply didn't know (and still don't) how to get them in mint folded condition (Dr. No, Laura, War of the Worlds, The Mummy). I linenbacked a few that I wanted to frame but never did (Suspiria).

I did that for colour coordination with WWC. It makes the repro look real.
