Upper estimate price exceeded by 70 %.
The work Views of the Gold Regions of Australia, 1851 (Abbey Travel 583) by George French Angas was sold in the THE TRAVEL SALE auction at Christies in London in September 2001. It achieved a price of GBP 3,055.00 (€ 4,932.52), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 70%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George French Angas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Eaglehawk Gully, Bendigo, 1852 in November 2020 with an auction result of AUD 418,200.00 (€ 350,016.74).
