Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2000 Christies in London held the auction The Jeanson Collection, which included the work Singe vert - Green Monkey - Chlorocebus aethiops Singe patar - Patas Monkey - Erytrocebus patas 1 Macaques crabien - Crab-eating Macaques - Macaca fascicularis 2, both signed and dated "Edouard Traviès pxit 1836." and "Edouard Traviès pt 1833." in the by Edouard Traviès. The price achieved of GBP 2,350.00 (€ 3,725.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by Edouard Traviès have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Studies of birds: Livingstone's tauraco, Red-winged crested cuckoo, and Common cuckoo; Royal flycatcher and Scarlet-spectacled wattle-eye; Common redstart, Nightingale, and Black redstart; Helmeted guinea fowl, Little bustard, and Great bustard; Red-bille in Janua
