Notes on this view:

This fiber-based Fujicolor print, made in the 1960s or early 70s, was originally tipped into a Fuji Photo Film Co. New Year's card. As a result, it has received almost no exposure to light. Notice the print exhibits no prominent dye fading and only minimal coupler staining.

Incorporated coupler chromogenic color materials, such as this, have historically been fraught with problems in relation to color stability. Internal or incorporated dye coupler systems are overall unstable due to chemical reactions between the existing dyes and unreacted residual couplers. It is common for prints made before the 1980s to exhibit some yellow staining in the highlights and dye fading.
