Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The merchantman Augustus Caesar in two positions in the Channel off Dover by Francis Holman was sold in the Maritime & Naval Battles (Pictures) auction at Christies in London in May 2007. The price achieved of GBP 14,400.00 (€ 21,190.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00.
