What does this mean?

Good evening, Nancy,
Thank you for submitting photographs to Mearto for appraisal.
This is a wonderful work, all the more so because it was used as the cover art for the magazine. That considerably adds to its desire on the market.
Auction houses that do particularly well with McGrew's works have dedicated/speciaized sales of Southwest American art and/or Native American art.
