Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a first half 20th century collotype print. This is a old printing technique which makes it possibly to create high quality prints with hardly visible grain.
The estimate is based on similar sold at auction.

yes, you can see the grain in the enlarged images of the characters
Is it definitely a print ??
Thanks
