IMO the photo-postcard looks okay I have many that are as fresh as the day they were processed at the studio lab 70 years ago. Most of the degradation in photos is down to poor chemistry or processing at the time of printing meaning the silver halide is not developed or fixed properly. If processed correctly and stored out of strong light photos can remain preserved very well.
It doesn't mean that the postcard could not have been more recently printed as wet printing did not really disappear with the advent of digital cameras and inkjet photo papers.
IMO the writing on the back of the postcard does not look like one of the Baltic languages either. Is there any chance it could be Italian?

I am guessing its Italian also

The photo posted the correct way up and taken out of the sleeve will assist in determining if it is period , although i don't see anything that would indicate otherwise !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
