A top price for James Scott Maxwell
When 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 by James Scott Maxwell was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,633.92).
