I've been looking all over Apple support and the interwebs this evening ... I had over 1,000 photos in my iCloud file and as I attempted to pull them back onto my phone, everything vanished. I'm trying (hoping) I can restore them from a previous iCloud backup but I can't find anything that states whether photos can be restored, or not. Help, please! Thank you.
An iCloud backup of your iPhone will include the photos, that have been on the iPhone, when you made the backup, but only, if you have not been using iCloud Photos. As soon as you enable iCloud Photos on the iPhone, the iCloud backup will no longer include any photos or videos from the Photos.app, because they are then stored in iCloud.
What do you mean by "I had over 1,000 photos in my iCloud file"? How have you been using iCloud? iCloud Photos? iCloud Drive? On your iPhone? On a computer? If on a computer, what kind of computer? If the photos have been downloaded to a computer, the backup of your computer may include some of the photos.

Can I restore photos from a previous iCloud backup?
