HENRY ALKEN
PANORAMA -- To Epsom, a Ludicrous Amusement consisting of Modern Costume Characters, Dandies, Equipages, and Horsemanship. [London:] S. & J. Fuller, 1819. Continuous hand-coloured aquatint strip panorama by Henry Alken, approximately 57 x 4,500mm, rolling into contemporary boxwood drum with lid, printed title label on base (drum lightly rubbed). cf. Abbey Life 472.

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Henry Alken achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2008. In the The Sporting Sale auction, the work Unknown sold for GBP 1,625.00 (€ 2,054.65) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Alken achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British Start For The Derby, 1847; And Cossack Winning The Derby, 1847 (Two Works) in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 80,500.00 (€ 57,834.61).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Alken erzielte im September 2008 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Sporting Sale wurde die Arbeit Unknown für GBP 1.625,00 (€ 2.054,65) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Alken erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British Start For The Derby, 1847; And Cossack Winning The Derby, 1847 (Two Works) im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 80.500,00 (€ 57.834,61).
