Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Herbert George Ponting achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in September 2021. In the Travel & Exploration auction, the work The Great Wall Of China, 1907 sold for GBP 3,570.00 (€ 4,153.74) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. 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 um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Herbert George Ponting erzielte im September 2021 bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Travel & Exploration wurde die Arbeit The Great Wall Of China, 1907 für GBP 3.570,00 (€ 4.153,74) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. 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).
