Auction result well in line with expectations
The work ‘Dearly Bought’ (‘Sir Garnet “It Don'T Look Much, Madam, But It Has Cost Good Money, And Better Lives!” Britannia “And But For You, Sir Garnet, Might Have Cost More Of Both!”’) (‘King Coffee'S Umbrella Has Been Brought To England’ – Morning Paper) by John Tenniel was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2018. It changed hands for a price of GBP 750.00 (€ 853.92) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. 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).

Die Arbeit ‘Dearly Bought’ (‘Sir Garnet “It Don'T Look Much, Madam, But It Has Cost Good Money, And Better Lives!” Britannia “And But For You, Sir Garnet, Might Have Cost More Of Both!”’) (‘King Coffee'S Umbrella Has Been Brought To England’ – Morning Paper) von John Tenniel kam im März 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 853,92) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. 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).
