This photo postcard from my family is dated July 22, 1908 and postmarked Patton, Missouri. It reads, " this leaves all here ok and hopeful it will find you all the same. from Pearl.
It is addressed to Myrtle Freeman, Flat River.
Note of interest: there is no Flat River, MO any longer. In the early 1990's four cities in the "Leadbelt" consolidated to form the community known today as Park Hills, Missouri.
I wish it were in better condition. But I still find it of interest.
P>S>
I just added my amateur attempts at sharpening up this old card.
Nothing better than family history.
Wonderful photo and looks like the little girl also has her doll in photo :-) Your photo can be repaired and is worth doing it in any photo editing program . Love it
Luv that tricycle ! She can grow into it & save having to buy another later.
That is really something wonderful!!Get some "contrast" into it at from a photo edit.
thanks so much to all who showed interest in my old postcard. SpiritBear, Manikin, blunderbuss2 and PostCardCollector-I will take your advise and try to restore the image. I will share if I have any success. Thanks to vetraio50, Brunswick, Tassie Devil, and Caperkid, mikelv, and Radegunder for the loves!,
Hi PostCardCollector. Thanks for the love and the advise. I've never tried to use a photo edit on an old photo. I've only cropped things. Anyway, I gave it a shot and added a couple of attempts to this post.
What is "cropping" ? LOL !
Well, you know, blunderbuss....if you are a farmer with fields full of growing things to work on, cropping would be in order! haha. On the other hand, if you have a photo with unwanted things in the background you can crop the stuff right out of there! ;)
I'm still working on that crop of brownies in my freezer ! LOL !!
thank you for the love kimpcfan! I always appreciate others input.
