The work Bosham by Wilfred Williams Ball was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours auction at Christies in London in November 2006. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 840.00 (€ 1,247.43), 68% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wilfred Williams Ball - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work London Bells, the Towers; and Westminster Abbey, which sold at auction in September 2001 for GBP 2,585.00 (€ 4,173.67).
