Upper estimate price exceeded by 43 %.
The work A weapon which threatens civilisation, and which the world seeks to control (illustrated); and A depiction of the power station of the future: a ZETA fusion reactor by George Horace Davis was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2014. It achieved a price of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,276.86), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 43%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Horace Davis achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A vision of the future - An airport for helicopters in the heart of London: The proposed plan for a "helidrome" at Charing Cross diagrammatically explained (illustrated); and As it will be—London's new airport at Gatwick, which was to be opened by in October 2014 with an auction result of GBP 16,875.00 (€ 21

Die Arbeit A weapon which threatens civilisation, and which the world seeks to control (illustrated); and A depiction of the power station of the future: a ZETA fusion reactor von George Horace Davis kam im Oktober 2014 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.276,86) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 43%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Horace Davis erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A vision of the future - An airport for helicopters in the heart of London: The proposed plan for a "helidrome" at Charing Cross diagrammatically explained (illustrated); and As it will be—London's new airport at Gatwick, which was to be opened by im Oktober 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.875,00 (€ 21.546,94).
