under the above on an iphone 4s I just activated, I see 5 backups from previous iphones I've replaced, dating to 10/2013, these backups appeared to be lost in may when I had to replace a phone. none of my pictures from the past had reloaded to the newly activated one. at that time, none of the previous phones backups showed. now, there they are. I am hoping I can access these, and bring them all into the current phone. how would I do that?

You can only restore a device from one back up. there is not way to combine them. And it will only restore those items that were set to back up or included depending on the back up type (iCloud vs. iTunes).
