It achieved a price of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,658.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emil Johann Lauffer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Czech Merlin Presenting The Future King Arthur, which sold at auction in December 2014 for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,677.90).
