I got this at an estate auction. It's titled "Apple Blossoms" and signed by "Hartwell Wyse Priest". I'm trying to determine if this is an etching, lithograph or original art. And if so , what is the medium. I've included a couple of pics I took with a microscope. Thank you.

It's a print, I'm not sure what kind but the closeups you provided (thank you so much - they're excellent!) suggest a lithograph.

Here is some information about the artist: https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/hartwell-wyse-priest-papers-8826
