The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,884.37), 25% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Frederick Rowland Emett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Shell X100 By-Plane in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 12,000.00 (€ 17,820.38).
