What does this mean?

Dear Arnold,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The apprised object appears to be an black and white photography with the measurements of 24 x 20 inches. The photo depicts two children and has the copyright seal of Ullman Mfg Co in New York. The Copyright is dated 1898 or 1888 and this photo made probably shortly after this date.

This piece is in medium condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 40 to 60 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
