Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work Autograph Letter Signed ("Nelson & Bronte") To Emma Hamilton by Horatio Nelson for GBP 6,000.00 (€ 6,850.66). This price was achieved in the auction Of Royal and Noble Descent at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Horatio Nelson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Autograph Letter Signed ("Nelson & Bronte"), To Emma Hamilton, On His Imminent Departure On The Victory, which sold at auction in January 2018 for GBP 18,750.00 (€ 21,408.31).

Für andere Arbeiten von Horatio Nelson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Autograph Letter Signed ("Nelson & Bronte"), To Emma Hamilton, On His Imminent Departure On The Victory beobachtet, die im Januar 2018 für GBP 18.750,00 (€ 21.408,31) versteigert wurde.
