Sandy,
I have seen orginal Watkins prints of Yosemite that are neither yellow or
cracked. Since these are the oldest prints , with the exception of salt, in
the world I think this is our best example. The salt prints that I have
seen, only pictures of them, ...now they seem faded or worse. Most likely
due to poor fixing I would suspect. This of course leaves out tintypes,
ambrotypes and Dags which are all doing well. Once again most likely due to
their substrates.

..Yes, we still have them but they have all either already yellowed, or
..will yellow with more time. As far as I have been able to determine
..there is nothing to stop or reverse the yellowing process.
