George Wilson Bridges (1788 - 1863)

Calotype negative, a faded number (300?) in pencil on the reverse.
17.8 x 21.7 cm (6¾ x 8½ in.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Unknown Temple Undergoing Restoration, C. 1848 by George Wilson Bridges was sold in the Photographs auction at Sothebys in London in May 2009. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,003.96) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by George Wilson Bridges have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in May 2009 the work South West View Of The Erechtheum In Negative, C. 1848 was auctioned for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,149.94).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Unknown Temple Undergoing Restoration, C. 1848 von George Wilson Bridges wurde im Mai 2009 in der Auktion Photographs bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.003,96) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Andere Arbeiten von George Wilson Bridges konnten bereits höhere Auktionspreise erzielen, so wurde im Mai 2009 die Arbeit South West View Of The Erechtheum In Negative, C. 1848 für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.149,94) versteigert.
