Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Samuel Bourne achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in May 2008. In the Photographs auction, the work India. Fifty-Four Views, 1860S-1870S sold for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,540.33) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Samuel Bourne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Himalayas in September 2001 with an auction result of GBP 71,950.00 (€ 116,168.53).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Samuel Bourne erzielte im Mai 2008 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit India. Fifty-Four Views, 1860S-1870S für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.540,33) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Samuel Bourne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Himalayas im September 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 71.950,00 (€ 116.168,53).
