In July 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours including Original, which included the work The cathedral at Ely enshrouded in mist by Wilfred Williams Ball. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 597.50 (€ 902.95), 71% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Wilfred Williams Ball have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work London Bells, the Towers; and Westminster Abbey in September 2001 with an auction result of GBP 2,585.00 (€ 4,173.67).
