Another aspect of the problem is that until the late 50's/early 60's,
most color prints were made using three-layer (dye) film stock.
For the most part, these were (and are) very stable.  Around the end
of the 50's, newer (and cheaper) one-layer stocks were introduced,
which turned out to have miserable long-term characteristics.  In
particular, they are very likely to experience fading of the blue
pigment, which results in the reddish tint that many 60's prints
now exhibit.
