The work Explorations in Garhwal around Kamet: twenty photographs relating to Smythe's 1931 expedition to Kamut by Francis Sydney Smythe was sold in the Exploration and Travel auction at Christies in London in September 2007. The result of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 2,150.89) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00.
