Make sure to click on this one and see the enlarged view. The colorization process worked out pretty well, I think, and it reminds me of a certain type of painting. However, I don't know enough about art to say which kind. Maybe some artist who painted people lazing about in parks in Paris in the 19th century.The back reads: "Dear Brother and Sisterand all. I think I will be going to Medina in a short time and I would like to have Floyd come and send Sister Rachelou to go home with me as I am a little stronger..."
Whoever it was, he/she was not strong enough, because the pencil indentations had become so light as to be totally illegible.

That is very nice! I am not all that knowlegeable about art, but the first thing I thought of is that it reminds me of something Winslow Homer would do...
Oh I like this one. I find what's written on them very interesting too.
The color reminds me of family photos from back a ways that were painted too.
I have an image now of the writer losing strength as he writes, eventually allowing his hand to drop to his side in exhaustion. :-)
Laura: I'm not that knowledgable about art either.
Ananda: I do to, and try to write it down. Sometimes it is so hard to read them.
Secret: Yes, that is it exactly!
