Good points as far as care of the glass plates is concerned, but it seems the purpose of displaying glass negatives is to show how photos were at one time reproduced. Perhaps print a photo from the glass negative and display both together, thereby helping the viewer “get” the equation. The glass plate would not necessary have to be backlit to understand the idea that this is the negative.
