This was sent to me by one of our readers. Susan
“I’m looking for guidance on how best to preserve (and display) a 36” x 36” commemorative banner. The banner appears to be made of muslin, and was issued in 1951 for the 300th anniversary of the city of Norwalk, Connecticut. The banner prominently displays the seal of the city, featuring Mahachemo (chief of the Norwalke Indians) and a member of his community offering a pipe to the British colonial Roger Ludlow in 1640. The image, as well as all text on the banner, is printed in green.
My parents had kept the banner folded for many years. I would appreciate advice on the best way to flatten and mount this banner. I’ve enclosed photos of the banner (with closeup) and one of the grommets at the upper corners of the banner.
Jack”
