Auction result well in line with expectations
The work ‘Lent – 1917’ (‘Bonar Law (To John Bull) So Good A Sowing Deserves A Bumper Harvest’) by Edmund Joseph Sullivan was sold in the The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer auction at Sothebys in London in March 2018. The price achieved of GBP 813.00 (€ 925.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 900.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edmund Joseph Sullivan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Illustrations to The French Revolution (one illustrated), which sold at auction in December 2004 for GBP 1,553.50 (€ 2,198.63).
