They used to use used tea leaves to 'distress' paper in the theatre. Damp tea leaves were applied to the paper. The stained and damp paper was then crumpled and ironed flat again (low heat). If you wanted to try it, it might be wise to have a go on something similar before you try it on the real thing.
I don't know if this will work with a reprinted picture though.
