What does "awash in smudged newsprint" mean?
Most people only knew shapes and shadows of famous people awash in smudged newsprint.
Dwight Eisenhower and Roy Rogers came to life in bright tricolor prints, a process so rare and complicated few photographers used it.

I guess, from the second sentence that "awash in the smudged newsprint" refers to the blurry black and wight photos in the old newspaper where you couldn't quite discern what was in the photo.
The key word is smudged which means smeared and blurry.
Hope this helps :)
