Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be what the accompanying letter describes. A limited edition print from an edition of 500 after a drawing by Mike Raxworthy, once intended to be used on an invitation. Collectors of Beatles memorabilia tend to collect items which have been owned, touched or signed by John, Paul, George and Ringo (Pete). An item which has only a faint connection to the Fab Four is regarded to be less desirable. For that reason I can see only a rather modest value here. I compared the limited edition offset print in your possession with similar caricatures by lesser known artist sold at auction.
