Cross sections for the $\ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{+}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ reaction were measured at backward angles using linearly polarized photons in the range 1.50 to 2.37 GeV. In addition, the beam asymmetry for this reaction was measured for the first time at backward angles. The \ensuremath{\Lambda} was detected at forward angles in the LEPS spectrometer …
