Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Lieutenant-Colonel Mitchell’s Cottage, Kingston (two views); and, Lieutenant Pooley’s Cottage, Edmonds Rapids by Major Charles Frederick Gibson was sold in the Topographical Pictures auction at Christies in London in December 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,799.78) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Major Charles Frederick Gibson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Seven views of Halifax, Nova Scotia in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 13,125.00 (€ 15,345.25).
