Unfortunately, the image posted is too small to point out the artifacts. However, most likely you either have signs of noise in the shadow areas and or, JPEG compression artifacts - pixels become more 'blocky' as a result of compression.. Especially noticeable when zoomed in and taken with a smartphone.

Hi Karen,
Zoom the image to between 100 and 200%. Take a close look at the typewriter's text hammers. You will notice they are not smooth black. There are a lot of colored spots. You will need to use the noise reduction tool of a photo editor such as Photoshop, or Lightroom to clean those spots away leaving smooth black color.
Best wishes
