Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Shipping off the coast by Walter William May was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings auction at Christies in London in March 2002. The price achieved of GBP 352.50 (€ 576.24) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Admittedly, works by Walter William May have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Perilous Situation of H.M.S.V. Intrepid In Baffins Bay - August 2. 1851.; And H.M.S.V. Intrepid Marooned On An Iceberg in September 2004 with an auction result of GBP 2,868.00 (€ 4,178.31).
