[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 264294, member: 56"]No obvious fastenings? Does it appear to be glued? I would put it face down on a table, and try to insert a knife blade between backing and frame at a corner, and gently pry. I would use only the knife tip and keep it at the edge of the backing, because that's probably the limit of the fastening. Any stress should be on the backing, at least until you can see inside to get some sense of how the print is mounted. It's possible that it's mounted to the backing. Bear in mind that I can't help tinkering with stuff like this, and it doesn't always turn out well. Proceed at your own risk. Some of the modern glues seem impervious to things that work on the older ones.[/QUOTE]
