A top price for Camille Silvy

In May 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work 'Studies On Light : Fog', London, 1859 by Camille Silvy. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 43,750.00 (€ 53,770.16), 46% above the upper estimate. With this result, 'Studies On Light : Fog', London, 1859 is even the most expensive work of art by Camille Silvy that we have observed at auctions so far.
