Old photos are not stored in iCloud. That’s not how it works. Either the current photos that are on your device are included in the backup or if you use iCloud Photos, you should be able to see your photos in the photos app on the device. If you want to do so, you can also log into iCloud.com using a web browser on a computer and check the photos app there.
