Description

ROBERT HOWLETT (1831-1858)
I. K. Brunel, Civil Engineer
Gelatin silver print. 1857/printed late 19th century. Printed title I. K. Brunel, civil engineer on the mount; printed title Standing in front of the Chains of the Great Eastern Steamship on the layered mount.
9 1/8 x 7½ in. (23.5 x 19 cm.) Framed

Upper estimate price exceeded by 37 %.

The work I. K. Brunel, Civil Engineer by Robert Howlett was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2001. It achieved a price of GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,757.88), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 37%. 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 37 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit I. K. Brunel, Civil Engineer von Robert Howlett kam im Mai 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.645,00 (€ 2.757,88) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 37%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Howlett erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Isambard Kingdom Brunel By The Launching Chains Of The Great Eastern, 1857 im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 34.100,00 (€ 47.748,82).
