Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Red Breasted Bernicle, Plate XLVI, from Illustrations from British Ornithology by Prideaux John Selby was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007. The price achieved of GBP 720.00 (€ 1,069.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Prideaux John Selby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Illustrations of British Ornithology. Text volumes: Edinburgh, London and Dublin: W.H. Lizars; Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, and Longman; W. Curry Jun. & Co., 1833. Plate volumes: Edinburgh and London: Archibald Constable & Co.; Hurst, Robinson & Co. in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 29,375.00 (€
