Help! - Can this be repaired?, by Deleted on Nov 25, 2015 10:11:06 GMT 1, It is call foxing indeed and mainly due to metallic element rusting with time (due to humidity). Since all were framed in similar way, it is then either the paper of the artwork itself (do you have more info about paper used) or as you are saying the metallic element (I doubt here).
Chemical properties in the wood pulp and may be not acid free paper is the culprit here. To avoid foxing spreading, place your artwork in dry environment to kill the fungi. Beware the fungi can spread so don't pile it with other prints (especially if paper is originally bad).
Best is to ask for people with similar print to check. Foxing can be removed with a bleaching process followed by deacidification process, but not 100%

Help! - Can this be repaired?, by Deleted on Nov 25, 2015 11:28:04 GMT 1, Can I safely assume if my backing board did not exhibit any foxing spots at all (it's framed for just about 7-8 months now), it's most definitely the paper itself not reacting too well to the humid environment this side of the globe?
Light brown-yellowish well-rounded shapes is foxing and can't be moisture. Expect these to darken with time. crcc50.sciencesconf.org/conference/crcc50/pages/15_rakotonirainy.pdf
Can I safely assume if my backing board did not exhibit any foxing spots at all (it's framed for just about 7-8 months now), it's most definitely the paper itself not reacting too well to the humid environment this side of the globe? I think your assumption is correct, if backing is fine then it is mostly the paper or the media or the glue used to apply gold... but I say the paper is the culprit here - cool.conservation-us.org/coolaic/sg/bpg/pcc/13_foxing.pdfLight brown-yellowish well-rounded shapes is foxing and can't be moisture.
