The work Britannia and Lulworth racing in the Solent by John J. Holmes was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,908.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John J. Holmes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Astra, Candida and Shamrock (V) racing off Cowes, 1934, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 2,880.00 (€ 4,238.11).
