Sold at the lower estimate price
The work The Rapids Of The Victoria Falls, Zambezi River by Thomas Baines was sold in the Topographical Pictures auction at Christies in London in December 2017. The result of GBP 50,000.00 (€ 56,267.68) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 50,000.00 – 80,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit The Rapids Of The Victoria Falls, Zambezi River von Thomas Baines wurde im Dezember 2017 in der Auktion Topographical Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 50.000,00 (€ 56.267,68) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 50.000,00 – 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Baines erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Eastern Cataracts of the Victoria Falls im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 574.750,00 (€ 675.183,19).
