The work A Series Of Original Portraits And Caricature Etchings. Edinburgh: Hugh Paton, Carver And Gilder, 1838 by James Kay was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 688.00 (€ 806.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 72%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Kay achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Highway of the Nations in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 33,915.14).

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Highway of the Nations im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 33.915,14).
