Auction result well in line with expectations
The work ‘“Joe” Chamberlain’ by Phil May was sold in the The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer auction at Sothebys in London in March 2018. It changed hands for a price of GBP 750.00 (€ 853.92) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Phil May - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Queen Victoria and her family surrounded by political, artistic and sporting figures of the period, which sold at auction in December 2001 for GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,727.81).
