This artwork by John Corbett achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2011. In the Travel, Science and Natural History auction, the work Four views of Mauritius: Outside of the Harbour of Port Louis; Peter Both and La Ponaer from the Signal Hill, Isle of Mauritius; A street Port Louis and flamboyant tree, Mauritius; and From Signal Hill looking over Plain William, Mauritius sold for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,111.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,000.00.
