The work Horse Shoe Fall, Niagara by William Armstrong was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,397.42), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Armstrong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work On the Kaministiquoia River, Lake Superior, which sold at auction in September 2010 for GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,023.64).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
