Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.

The work Construction of The Great Eastern, Millwall by Robert Howlett was sold in the Lehman Brothers: Artwork and Ephemera auction at Christies in London in September 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,746.94), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Howlett achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Isambard Kingdom Brunel By The Launching Chains Of The Great Eastern, 1857 in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 34,100.00 (€ 47,748.82).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
