In July 2004 Christies in London held the auction Old Master and 19th Century Drawings, which included the work The Midwives sparing the Lives of the Male Infants (Ex. 1) by Bernard Salomon. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,973.00), 31% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bernard Salomon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Joseph and Potiphar's Wife (Gen. 39), which sold at auction in July 2004 for GBP 8,126.00 (€ 12,280.17).

Im Juli 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master and 19th Century Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Midwives sparing the Lives of the Male Infants (Ex. 1) von Bernard Salomon zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.629,00 (€ 3.973,00) und damit 31% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Bernard Salomon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Joseph and Potiphar's Wife (Gen. 39) beobachtet, die im Juli 2004 für GBP 8.126,00 (€ 12.280,17) versteigert wurde.
