The work 'T took it' by Kate Greenaway was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations auction at Christies in London in July 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 4,800.00 (€ 7,129.11), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 60%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Kate Greenaway; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Study of a young girl in a garden, a border of nasturtiums and other plants beyond sold at auction in June 2004 with the realized price of GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,449.63).
