Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The breeds of domestic animals of the British Isles, 1842, 2 volumes in 1 by David Low was sold in the The Library of Henry Rogers Broughton, 2nd Baron Fairhaven Part I auction at Sothebys in London in May last year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 3,780.00 (€ 4,446.81) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 4,000.00. Admittedly, works by David Low have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work ‘Nuremberg’ (‘No Drums, No Trumpets, No Banners – Pah! How Much Better We Would Have Done It’) in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,771.10).
