Again kool project!
That was a big concern of mine. Obviously I don't want to ruin 110+ year old cards. There are clear plastic corners that adhere directly to the background matting. They essentially form a pocket the card sits in. The cards are held in place, but are not attached directly to the mat. With the lighting you can see it on the top corners of the Dooin/Donovan portraits. It's really not noticeable most of the time.
