Hey!
Woman comes in, pulls out a folded-up piece of paper from her wallet. Turns out to be a letter written in 1891... acutally a summons written to someone, probably by the clerk of the court or something. She is giving it to her attorney son for Christmas.
I convinced her to use conservation methods, and she agreed... museum board, museum glass, etc.
Here is the problem. The writer left absolutely no margin and wrote across the paper from edge to edge. We decided to float it.
If it were junk, I would dry-mount it flat to a foam core a bit smaller than the piece and it would lay flat.
Any thoughts on how to float-mount it while having it lay relitively flat against the backing?
Thanks,
Bill
