Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2004 a collector was able to acquire the work The Booth Line's R.M.S. Augustine under sail and steam by Walter Thomas for GBP 29.88 (€ 44.83). This price was achieved in the auction Maritime Pictures at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Thomas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Cunard, Boston To Europe in April 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,132.36).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2004 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Booth Line's R.M.S. Augustine under sail and steam von Walter Thomas für GBP 29,88 (€ 44,83) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Maritime Pictures bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Thomas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Cunard, Boston To Europe im April 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.132,36).
