Dear Clifford, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The presented object appears to be a lithograph print on paper with the measurements of 32 x 24 inches. This print has the title "Pals' for Quick Service or General Sweeping" and depicts a young girl cleaning the floor with a sweeper while her grandfather sleeps in an armchair. This print appears to be signed with pencil by Norman Perceval ROCKWELL (1894-1978) and it has an edition of 295/750. Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 400 to 800 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, Georg
