This price was achieved in the auction Maritime Art at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 many times ove Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Baines achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Eastern Cataracts of the Victoria Falls in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 574,750.00 (€ 675,183.19).
