Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction Travel & Natural History, which included the work The Snowdrop; and Thou divine Linnaeus, by W.Ward and T.Burke by Robert John Thornton. The price achieved of GBP 720.00 (€ 1,059.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert John Thornton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Temple of Flora: six plates in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 16,250.00 (€ 11,848.34).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel & Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Snowdrop; and Thou divine Linnaeus, by W.Ward and T.Burke von Robert John Thornton zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 720,00 (€ 1.059,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert John Thornton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Temple of Flora: six plates im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.250,00 (€ 11.848,34).
