Should this wallpaper be pre-glued on the back? 8^)

Didn't I read somewhere that an archival image was OK for this one image?

This would be the all-around winner (before even seeing any others) but
none of you can have it in a useful size.

A large (12cm x 18cm x 3.5cm) slab of polished Labradorite that someone
gave to me during my travels. They wanted to give me something in return
for a wildlife print of mine that I gifted to them.

No, it's not back-lit. That's the schiller effect (or labradorescence)
causing that play of blue and green lights. It's been the wallpaper on all
my PCs for a couple years now. Printed at 18"x13" is even nicer than when
seen on a monitor. Whenever people are flipping through a stack of 8"x10"
proof-prints of mine they never fail to make an involuntary exclamation
when uncovering this one.

That slab could probably withstand 2 or 3 more slicings but the hefty mass
of it makes for an impressive display piece. Mesmerizing to hold and tilt
in the sunlight.

It depends. Does your monitor have a drywall screen?

Gives new meaning to cut and paste.
