Dear Carolyn,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a prayer book dated 1781 written in German. The book includes handwritten prayers and hand-colored illustrations on the base of etchings. Such prayer books were common for the daily prayers and were probably in the possession of a noble or wealthy person.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
