The work A Schrund near the Trident de la Brenva by Francis Sydney Smythe was sold in the Exploration and Travel auction at Christies in London in September 2007. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,433.93), 67% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Francis Sydney Smythe; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Explorations in Garhwal around Kamet: twenty photographs relating to Smythe's 1931 expedition to Kamut sold at auction in September 2007 with the realized price of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 2,150.89).
