Dear Laurel,

Thank you for the additional images and your patience.

The apprised object appears to be a silver gelatine print with the measurements of 9 1/4 x 7 1/8 inches. The artwork depicts the mountain "El Capitan" and has the title California 1904-198. It was printed by Alan Ross from Ansel Adams' original negative under his supervision
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 800 to 1.200 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg
