Sold at the lower estimate price
The work The Woodcutters by William Henry Fox Talbot was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2019. The result of USD 2,500.00 (€ 2,241.15) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Henry Fox Talbot achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work William Henry Fox Talbot’S Gifts To His Sister: Horatia Gaisford’S Collection Of Photographs And Ephemera in April 2021 with an auction result of USD 1,956,000.00 (€ 1,625,935.16).
