In March 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer, which included the work ‘...And My Italian Prisoners Put Up The Silo...’ by Frederick Rowland Emett. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,134.79), 56% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Frederick Rowland Emett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Shell X100 By-Plane in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,820.38).

Im März 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer durch, in der auch die Arbeit ‘...And My Italian Prisoners Put Up The Silo...’ von Frederick Rowland Emett zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.134,79) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis.
