Remove Mold and Stains
     From Old Photos,

Mold usually begins in the darker areas of the photo first and may have a moldy smell.  Mold Usually will germinate when the relative humidity exceeds approximately 70 percent and the temperature rises above 68 degrees. You should keep the relative humidity range between 25 and 50 percent.

When mold growth is active it is usually black. When it is inactive mold is dry and powdery appearance. The damage caused by mold is permanent because it eats the paper of the photo or stains the photo.
One reason a lot of old framed photos have mold problems is due to placing glass on top of the photograph with no matt between.
Back then most people never thought about this being a problem.
But it is the major cause, glass touching the photo.
Many times I had to repair photos sticking to the glass.
This is because glass sweats and the dampness gets trapped in the frame.
So do not let glass touch the restored photograph.
