Auction result well in line with expectations

In September 2005 Christies in London held the auction Travel and Natural History, which included the work Views of India' including: The Hospital Gate, Monghyr Fort; Carved gateway to Tomb of Kasim Sooleemanee, Chunarghur; Sepoy guardhouse in the Castle at Chunar, on the river Ganges; A tomb near Chunar, built by Kasim Sooleemanee; Insulated rocks, Col by Edward Hawke Locker. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,920.00 (€ 2,817.74) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Hawke Locker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Views of southern India including; St. Thomé Chapel, Madras; View on the road from St. Thomé Chapel to Brodie Castle; and Muslim buildings near Madras (illustrated), which sold at auction in September 2000 for GBP 5,875.00 (€ 9,830.67).
