Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
In June this year Bonhams in London held the auction Travel & Exploration Sale, which included the work 'Taj-Mahal. Agra. 1916' plate 26.6 x 38.1cm (10 1/2 x 15in) mounted but unframed by Charles Bartlett. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,664.00 (€ 1,936.61), 39% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Bartlett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Surf Riders, Honolulu, circa 1921 in September last year with an auction result of USD 31,875.00 (€ 32,582.03).

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.664,00 (€ 1.936,61) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Bartlett erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Surf Riders, Honolulu, circa 1921 im September letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 31.875,00 (€ 32.582,03).
