A top price for Helen Thornycroft - as previously expected
The work Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee procession passing over London Bridge by Helen Thornycroft was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,115.00 (€ 3,414.82) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee procession passing over London Bridge is the most expensive artwork by Helen Thornycroft that we have observed at auctions so far.
