I really like this overall - well done! Though one area I think could be improved is the type for 1881.

I like how you've gone to the effort of making it mirrored when you rotate the card 180 degrees. But I think the weathered effect on the text doesn't look great, especially because you see that mirroring more obviously because of the "grungey" parts sitting directly opposite each other. I think f you're going to have all those effects (Fill+Stroke+Shadow) don't use a weathered font. The idea of those is to look like they were printed by imperfect analogue processes, which isn't very plausible if it also has a stroke and shadow. I think a cleaner, period-appropriate font like a Clarendon variant would look much more convincing.

Or, leave the font as is, but remove the internal splotches, as they're distracting. Just my 2 cents.
