The work On the Fraser River, Rocky Mountains by William Armstrong was sold in the Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale auction at Christies in London in September 2010. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,674.55), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Armstrong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work On the Kaministiquoia River, Lake Superior, which sold at auction in September 2010 for GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,023.64).
