What does this mean?

Hello Hunter,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The item presented appears to be chromolithograph by Leslie “Spy” Matthew Ward (English, 1851 – 1922) titled "Hard Head." The print was pulled from the weekly British magazine "Vanity Fair," 1888. The work was printed by Vincent, Brooks, Day & Son. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work and other comparable chromolithographs by Ward, published in "Vanity Fair" during the late 19th century. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
