My try at the photo.
And with the back of the card I tried to separate detail from damage... but I still don't know what it says. Bear in mind that I may have made a number of mistakes - painting over what should have been detail or leaving what should have been painted out - but perhaps it will help someone to work it out.
Cheers,
Peter
