Auction result well in line with expectations
The work ‘Au Revoir!’ (‘Weg (Outside The House Of Lords, Singing Confidently): “He Will Return – I Know Him Well –”’) by John Tenniel was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2018. It changed hands for a price of GBP 875.00 (€ 996.24) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 700.00 – 900.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Tenniel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work ‘Nuts To Crack’ in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 31,310.27).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 875,00 (€ 996,24) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 700,00 – 900,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Tenniel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ‘Nuts To Crack’ im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 31.310,27).
