If it is on paper then it should be glaszed. The only thing in my book which don't get glazed are oils and acrylics on canvas.

If you used some type of anti-reflective glass (NOT the horrible etched stuff) then you would hardly know it had glass in.
It's a pricey option though.

Being an original you may want to consider UV filtering glass too.
