It is worthy to note that the sepia/yellow is not a generic sign of old age for photos, but is eccentric to the albumen and a couple of other processs. Caused, in part, by a particular chemical used on the photo paper. The many 19th century photographs that did not use the chemical (platinum prints, carbon prints, cyanotypes) did not gain the same sepia tone with age.
