This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Levels adjusted, stains and creases removed, sharpening. I presumed that the paper was originally reasonably white - a reasonable assumption, given the way colours are used in this - but paper used in cheap posters is very bad paper, so yellows very readily..
