In a recent article, I described my efforts to repair the ravages of time and light and negligence on old postcards.  I also shared examples of my work.

Before and After: Repairing Vintage Postcards

Here are additional "Before and After" pictures.

Peter, I had no idea you were making changes to the postcards you posted.
The work is very good. I like the way you repaired the postmark smudge on the elaborate hat of the young woman in the first card.

Thanks for the compliment, Mary Louise. And, thanks for your (lonely) comment!
