Not infrequently older photographs turn discoloured In the tropical belt due to the influence of long term extreme humidity. People sometimes seek to counteract this phenomenon by varnishing the surfaces of the photographs, either initially or later.

This is an original b/w photograph from the mid 1960s, which has a yellowed and somewhat discoloured front and back. Furthermore creased corners. Backside glazing cracked. Varnishing probably of a later date.
