Auction result misses estimated price range
In February 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work Moths and Butterflies: Two Plates by Eleazar Albin for USD 625.00 (€ 467.85). This price was achieved in the auction Christie's Interiors at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 700.00 – 900.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eleazar Albin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A natural history of birds [and A natural history of English insects, 1738-1749, 4 volumes, contemporary calf|AID711744] in May last year with an auction result of GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,822.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Februar 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Moths and Butterflies: Two Plates von Eleazar Albin für USD 625,00 (€ 467,85) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 700,00 – 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eleazar Albin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A natural history of birds [and A natural history of English insects, 1738-1749, 4 volumes, contemporary calf|AID711744] im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.600,00 (€ 14.822,70).
