I?d just replace ?  has to be explained ?  by ?requires some knowledge of 
the background by the viewer, and some thought by the same ?     

Other than that, it may also refer to even documentary photos that have aged 
well, i.e. that, seen from a distance, look like time-capsules.

I often have in mind those photos of railway bridges and sceneries that 
decorated the train cars of my youth. These adverts then looked pretty dull 
to everyone. But I?d be very happy to have a collection of them today.
