It's all in the details...The purpose of ironing the newspaper is to prevent the ink from staining your fingers. Having the crisp smooth page to flip is just a bonus!
I didn't know that - I assume they were ironing it merely for the wrinkles!! And that reminds me - can't wait for the next installments of Downton Abbey!!

Hello,
I love this pic, wonderful!

So, how do you clean the iron?
Good question Gina, I've tried ironing a newspaper, and there were no ink stains…
What a thoughtful tip - practical and sybaritic, too. It also keeps the paper fairly crisp
All best,
BON
