In June 2011 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Front Cover Design For Walter Carroll'S Water Sprites: A Piano Score For Children by Charles James Folkard. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,521.18), 72% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles James Folkard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Illustrations to Richard Harris Barham's Jackdaw of Rheims: All a-whisper; Bearing gifts; In a hurry; and An uncomfortable shoe (two illustrated), which sold at auction in December 2005 for GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,831.81).
