Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Indian Reed; The oblique-leaved Begonia; and American Bog-Plant, by Caldwall and Sutherland by Robert John Thornton was sold in the Travel, Science and Natural History auction at Christies in London in April 2010. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,150.80), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert John Thornton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Temple of Flora: six plates in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 16,250.00 (€ 11,848.34).

Die Arbeit Indian Reed; The oblique-leaved Begonia; and American Bog-Plant, by Caldwall and Sutherland von Robert John Thornton wurde im April 2010 in der Auktion Travel, Science and Natural History bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.150,80) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert John Thornton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Temple of Flora: six plates im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.250,00 (€ 11.848,34).
