Welcome to the board but my sympathies on the damage to your wonderful treasure.
I concur on the OxyClean idea and soaking for a while.
Also, if there are still stains after that, try blotting with a cloth dipped in lemon juice and setting out in the sun. Not on the prints but every where else it would work as a bleaching agent but without the fiber destroying aspects of peroxide or chlorine.

I have also done blankets this way filling the washer with cold water and 1 cut of bleach before I put in the blankets. Don't have pictures but the mildew came out and did not fade any of the color in the blanket.
Hope this helps, sorry for your lose

This solution works but be sure to run your water with the bleach in until the machine is full and has agitated a time or two. I do this with stubbon colors all the time,
