It's a form of American art that was very popular in the 1880s into the 1890s, on into the 20th century.
Here we see the, the name Louis Akin.
It's dated 1906, it's a set chromolithograph based on a painting.
Chromolithography was a mechanical way of doing color prints.
Prior to chromolithography, prints would be made in black and white and then colored by hand with watercolors.
To be able to do it mechanically was a great advantage.
You'll notice this also has the original brass plaque that says that this is the El Tovar at the Grand Canyon, on the Santa Fe Railroad.
Retail shops around the United States are selling this for about $4,500.
GUEST: Wow.
(laughs): Wow, that's, that's great.
