That was my thought. And/or freezing it. Sometimes freezing envelopes lets the glue lift from the paper. Sometimes not.
Or maybe something that could be sprayed on it, like Oops, (is that the name?) The liquid that takes labels off jars and cleans up solid spills?
No, probably not since it would most likely be greasy.
Okay, press the other part of the photo onto the glass and spray it with something that will preserve it forever, glued onto the glass.
Otherwise, frame it and pretend it never happened.

My senior prom picture stuck and my daughter carefully took a drop of water on her finger tip and touched the back of the picture and let it set a bit, then she carefully took a razor blade and from under the front of the picture she picked it gently away from the glass. I had several place the heat made it stick. Didn't have it matted and no A/C in those days. I do not have her tedious nerves....ugh. But I'm glad I got her !!!
