Right now I'm inclined to cut the main part off with a razor blade or scalpel and then experiment with getting the lower part unstuck. This just to take no risk with the photo proper. ...

This sounds like a good plan to  me -- AFTER making the best possible scan or copy photo.

Especially if there is retouching I would not apply steam or water to the image portion of the original -- the retouch may have been done with water soluble pigment. (I learned that the hard way -- caused myself a lot of grief and extra work on the digital copy as well as the loss to the original.)

Good luck.
