The work "Any chance of a job o'work 'ere Mister?" by Phil May was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours including Original Book auction at Christies in London in December 2004. It achieved a price of GBP 501.90 (€ 710.33), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. 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).
