A top price for Julius Mendès Price
When the work Thirty-five illustrations from the Italian Front, 1915-1916 for the Illustrated London News by Julius Mendès Price was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,974.98).
