Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Adélie Penguins Snowed Up On Their Nests; Adélie Penguin And Chicks by Herbert George Ponting was sold in the Travel, Science & Natural History auction at Christies in London in April 2014. The result of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,217.23) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Herbert George Ponting achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Ponting's three master albums of contact prints in September 2010 with an auction result of GBP 169,250.00 (€ 195,755.59).
