Wade,

forgot to mention that these UV "lacquers" are used both in offset and
screen printing. The use of UV lacquers is absolutely cheap here and a
frequent method in offset book covers etc. Normally used to make prints
look valuable at a reasonable price

Let me ask you another question. Why has this poster yellowed? Normally,
printers select excellent papers for art posters. Have they been exposed
to (sun)light for a longer time (of course: before getting into the
museum)? Or has the printer deliberately chosen a yellowing paper to
reach a certain effect? If you mean the famous dove on guitar posters,
the poster was definitely made not only as a poster for an event, but as
a work of art by an excellent printer (who deceased, if I remember well,
somewhat in 1997). It might be that such a talent like Rapoport also
played with the aging effect.

Best


Christian
