The work 'But they who come mid frost and flood, Peeping from bank, or root of tree, The primrose and the violet-bud, They are the dearest flowers to me' by George Augustus Holmes was sold in the British and Victorian Pictures auction at Christies in London in September 2003. It achieved a price of GBP 7,050.00 (€ 7,101.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 18%.
