Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
The work Lower Egypt, Thebes and the Pyramids by Francis Frith was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in New York in September 2006. It achieved a price of USD 5,040.00 (€ 3,972.57), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Frith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Egypt, Palestine & Nubia in May 2004 with an auction result of GBP 31,070.00 (€ 46,616.44).
