Linen backing provided several benefits to cartographers and map enthusiasts:
✶ Preservation: The technique helps protect paper maps from further deterioration by providing a stronger and more stable support.
✶ Sturdiness: Linen backing makes maps more durable. This prevents tearing during handling and storage.
✶ Display: Backed maps are easier to frame and display due to their enhanced stability and ability to lie flat.
