Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work "Entering the Pack Ice"; "P.O. Evans and Crean Mending Sleeping Bags", gelatin silver prints, each mounted on card with caption below, framed and glazed, image 220 x 290mm., 1910, but printed later (2) by Herbert George Ponting was sold in the Travel & Exploration auction at Bonhams in London in September 2021. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 956.25 (€ 1,112.61), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Herbert George Ponting achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Ponting's three master albums of contact prints in September 2010 with an auction result of GBP 169,250.00 (€ 195,755.59).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Evans and Crean Mending Sleeping Bags", gelatin silver prints, each mounted on card with caption below, framed and glazed, image 220 x 290mm., 1910, but printed later (2) von Herbert George Ponting wurde im September 2021 in der Auktion Travel & Exploration bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 956,25 (€ 1.112,61) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Herbert George Ponting erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Ponting's three master albums of contact prints im September 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 169.250,00 (€ 195.755,59).
