Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Swiss Boy; and Stirling Wisdom by Henry Frederick Lucas Lucas was sold in the Lord St. Helens and Sir William FitzHerbert The Collections of a Diplomat and a Courtier auction at Christies in London in January 2009. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,110.62), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Frederick Lucas Lucas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Hunting Alphabet A Stands for ATHERSTONE Ladies are few distinguished by wearing the collar of blue. B Stands for BOOT with the Cream coloured top, the pride and the glory of many a Fop. C Stands for CUBBING when foxes abound and they rattl in December 2006 with an auction result of USD 72,000.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Hunting Alphabet A Stands for ATHERSTONE Ladies are few distinguished by wearing the collar of blue. B Stands for BOOT with the Cream coloured top, the pride and the glory of many a Fop. C Stands for CUBBING when foxes abound and they rattl im Dezember 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 72.000,00 (€ 54.557,85).
