Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2002 a collector was able to acquire the work The New Vitruvius Britannicus: Volume II: Eight Plates by George Richardson for USD 2,031.50 (€ 2,073.81). This price was achieved in the auction THE HOUSE SALE at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00 set by the auction house. Other works by George Richardson have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in March 2004 by the work The New Vitruvius Britannicus: Six Plates at USD 3,107.00 (€ 2,527.66).
