It achieved a price of GBP 2,880.00 (€ 4,276.89), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry Byam Martin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Honolulu From The Outer Anchorage, August 1846, which sold at auction in December 2017 for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,066.92).
