Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2013 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science & Natural History, which included the work Aglaeactis Caumatonota; Cyanathus Smaragdicaudus; Ramphomicron Heteropogon; Aglaeactis Pamela; Petasophora Cyanotis; Ionolaima Schreibersi; Androdon Aequatorialis; Eucephala Smaragdocaerulea; Eriocnemis Sapphiropygia; And Eupetomena Hirundo by John Gould. The price achieved of GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,807.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Gould achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Birds of Australia, [1840- 1848-1869, 8 volumes including Supplement|AID711784] in May last year with an auction result of GBP 302,400.00 (€ 355,744.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel, Science & Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit Aglaeactis Caumatonota; Cyanathus Smaragdicaudus; Ramphomicron Heteropogon; Aglaeactis Pamela; Petasophora Cyanotis; Ionolaima Schreibersi; Androdon Aequatorialis; Eucephala Smaragdocaerulea; Eriocnemis Sapphiropygia; And Eupetomena Hirundo von John Gould zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.807,23) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Gould erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Birds of Australia, [1840- 1848-1869, 8 volumes including Supplement|AID711784] im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 302.400,00 (€ 355.744,81).
