Hello, this item is a colorized photo by Susan Bock titled School in Rural South, Circa 1899, produced in 2007 as a modern hand-colored photograph based on historical imagery. Measuring approximately 9.5 x 7.5 inches (14 x 11 inches including mat), the piece offers detailed, nostalgic colorization capturing the atmosphere of a late 19th-century Southern school scene. While the original photograph dates back to the 1890s, this specific work is a contemporary artistic reinterpretation, not an antique print.
Given its nature as a signed or marked original by Susan Bock, its value falls more in the realm of contemporary decorative or collectible photography, with an estimated market value between $100 and $250 USD. While not a historical artifact per se, it holds appeal for collectors interested in Americana, historical reenactments, or decorative vintage-inspired art. For resale or insurance, retaining auction documentation and artist details will help support its provenance and value.
