The work Shashinkyo daizo zu (Camera view: picture of a large elephant), 1861 by Utagawa Yoshiiku was sold in the AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF JAPANESE PRINTS auction at Christies in New York in March 2003. It achieved a price of USD 4,182.50 (€ 3,837.16), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%.
