A top price for John Seymour Lucas - as previously expected
The work The burning of Martin Luther's works by John Seymour Lucas was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2007. The price achieved of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 14,339.26) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00.
