The work A Ship In A Harbour With Rowing Boats And Yachts, A Coastal Town And Fortress Beyond by John Callow was sold in the British Art on Paper auction at Christies in London in June 2007. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 5,400.00 (€ 8,013.33).
