I suggest that you contact the photographer who took the Grand Canyon photograph and tell him or her that the photograph has badly faded. If the photographer is reputable, they will replace the photograph for you at no cost and it will be a win/win for you both.
Photographic materials have dramatically improved with the advent of pigmented ink jet printing and good substrates. Twelve years ago, the substrates were primitive by today's standards. Even Cibachrome, the best and most beautiful of the papers of that era, which was supposed to be long-lasting, was proven to have an effective life of less than 20 years under normal display conditions.
Significant fading should now be a thing of the past for most photographs.
