Hi Ľubica, I have no experienced advice for you about adding humidity to your overall environment. I have rehydrated photos by putting them in a camping (Coleman brand) cooler. I sat the photo on a small metal shelf that fit into the cooler and left a small dish of water under the shelf, then shut the lid tight. It only took overnight to rehydrate the photo enough so I could unroll it without doing further damage to the emulsion. Not sure if that would work with fabrics.
I have to add that in 1999-2000 I hosted an exchange student from Bratislava, Tatiana Remakova. Her parents still live in Bratislava. She showed me pictures of the city. What a beautiful and historic place you live in. Stay safe! On Tue, Apr 21, 2020 at 6:41 AM Ľubica Galajdová <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > hope everybody is safe out there.
