present. A A cowboy poster will often be rolled and shipped in a tube. Because the paper is somewhat thin and can
easily be damaged by the elements or torn, it is recommended that posters be framed securely behind acrylic or

use for maintaining the quality of your cowboy poster image and color over time. UV protective glass and acid free
matting all help preserve your cowboy poster for years of enjoyment.
