Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2003 a collector was able to acquire the work A Supplement to Elwes' Monograph of the Genus Lilium: Six Plates by Lilian Snelling for USD 1,434.00 (€ 1,335.32). This price was achieved in the auction The House Sale at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Other works by Lilian Snelling have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in February 2003 by the work A Supplement to Elwes' Monograph of the Genus Lilium: Five Plates at USD 2,031.50 (€ 1,884.68).
