    I've recently purchased an original poster which is already mounted on linen. The poster is in need of a clean and I wonder if anyone can recommend a professional who can do this work? Thanks.

    Your local museum may be able either to recommend a conservator who handles that sort of work or may have someone on their staff who is able to do such work - but it will probably cost you something!

    Thanks for that will give it a try....the poster cost something so it really needs to be seen at its best and the surface grime is hiding it's full potential.
