Subject: [Leica] reverse glass framing?

I guess the organizer is asking for prints just mounted on a mat board?  The
only way I would know to do that is with adhesive (yechhh) or a dry-mounting
press.  Light Impressions has material for both.  You could also use
mounting corners, though that might look odd with no over-matt to hide them.
That might be OK if your prints have a wide salon border.  Light Impressions
has the clear mounting corners also.

Believe it or not, I did see an exhibit with an Ansel Adams "Moonrise"
sandwiched between two sheets of glass.
