Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2006 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Pictures and Watercolours, which included the work S.S. Annan (illustrated); H.M.S. Research; H.M.S. King Alfred; S.S. Lady Roberts; S.S. Findhorn; S.S. Sabrina; P.S. Alexandra; S.S. Hound; S.S. Princess Beatrice; S.S. Karina; H.M.S. Iron Duke; and H.M.S. Ribble by James Scott Maxwell. The price achieved of GBP 336.00 (€ 492.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200.00 – 400.00. Admittedly, works by James Scott Maxwell have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Two albums of watercolours of ship portraits including; The American steamships St Paul and Haverford (one illustrated); and The American yacht Erl King in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,633.92).

Ribble von James Scott Maxwell zur Versteigerung kam.

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von James Scott Maxwell auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Two albums of watercolours of ship portraits including; The American steamships St Paul and Haverford (one illustrated); and The American yacht Erl King im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.120,00 (€
