I have a wonderfully illustrated
paper napkin from the 1917 Christmas dinner of Company G, 47 Infantry Division
that was found in a scrap book dating from the 1920s. Here's the
problem: the napkin was folded all that time. It won't lay flat when
opened. What's the best way, if any, to remove or minimize the creases
so that it can be placed in a large Mylar sleeve for mechanical protection
during storage?
Thanking the list an
advance.
