I use only safe material and have many new sheets available (cream colored with black trim or black with golden frame).
The collection specializes in cancellations, then insert predominantly envelopes, postcards, picture postcards, fragments, or something similar.
It must of course be present a short description of each page that describes the type of cancellation. In some cases, insert a description for each piece.
The description is the strip of blank white paper.
To complete the historical picture in the future, I will insert some photos and map.
Also add copies of this book, at least by location reported.
I have done 5 tests, very rough, just to get an idea.
I repeat that the photos are very rough, they serve only to understand the final result.
I made an example by mounting two pieces with cancellation Hamburg PA. Machine cancels.

re: Mounting a stamp collection (Hamburg cancels)
Frederico,
I think it is what is most pleasing to you that should be the deciding factor. All the layouts are fine and will present your material very nicely. My personal preference (and I emphasize personal because it is entirely subjective based on what pleases my sense of perspective) is layout number 2. That is probably because I like frames around the material (did I mention I also collect art and once directed an art gallery?).
I really enjoyed the pages of your collection you shared and would like to see more!
Bobby

I like number #3 better. Having a separate piece of paper for each description allows you to easily move things in your own album. It also allows someone who is paging through the album to read only about the cover that interests them the most.

re: Mounting a stamp collection (Hamburg cancels)
Federico,
I think it is asked too much from us (certainly from me) to open all the links. We have an easy picture upload function called "upload image" at the bottom of the message window which allows you to insert pictures into your message.
I thought that the direct link would be better. So the page will probably open more quickly.
I make a try and upload a picture instead of the link.
Thanks
Here are some examples for picture postcards. The locations are different, but only serves as an example.
There is the part with the cancellation and the one with the picture.
Hiding the image is a real shame, because it removes some of the history.
So you can mount on the same page as the front of the postcard and a color copy of the back where there is cancellation.
They can be mounted on the same black cardboard, or on two different cards.
You can also enter only new postcards with images of the country or the Post Office.
