Subject: [Leica] Repairing an old print

All,

advice needed. The other day while cleaning a photo frame was knocked over 
and
the glass broke. I need some advice on how to recover the image. Now read 
on...

The frame which is one of those curved ones about 1/2 cm thick has split down
the centre. BUT the picture - which is the only surviving one of my
father-in-law in uniform in India at the end of WWII - is of great 
sentimental
importance. There is no neg, so the image can't be reproduced and the print 
is
contemporary with the photo.

The problem that I need your advice on is as follows: the glass is held 
together
by the picture. So: how do I get the print off the glass and intact?

There are a couple of images of the picture Here:
