In December 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book, which included the work '.... You can be happy here - under any circumstances' (illustrated); and '.... When your love lies dreaming..' by Donald Fraser Gould McGill. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 717.00 (€ 1,014.75), 43% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Donald Fraser Gould McGill - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Look at' er! Look at' er!, which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,180.95).
