My suggestion - go to a hobby store, preferably one specialized in plastic models or similar, and get a really really sharp knife (scalpelle maybe they are called, used by surgeons!) with a long blade.
Then, starting at the bottom of the photo, cut the glue layer slowly, and while cutting, easily pull the photo upwards.
Such knifes cost about 20 euro here and blades are 3 euros each. I have a few, and they are really useful. On my spare time, I use to build ship- and airplane models.
Another thing would maybe be to use the technique that can be used to remove stamps from a letter, heat the paper over boiling water and carefully try to remove the pic. I think though, that the outcome of this depends on the type of glue.
Finally - before trying anything of this, wait a few days and see if someone else brings any better ideas. I don't want to be the one that ruined your order book
Good luck!
