Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.
In September 2010 Christies in London held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work Le Petit Ponte (Deltiel 24) by Charles Meryon. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,746.94), 32% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Meryon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work La Morgue (D., W. 36; S. 42), which sold at auction in March 2006 for GBP 4,560.00 (€ 6,533.66).

Im September 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Le Petit Ponte (Deltiel 24) von Charles Meryon zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.746,94) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Meryon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit La Morgue (D., W. 36; S. 42) beobachtet, die im März 2006 für GBP 4.560,00 (€ 6.533,66) versteigert wurde.
