Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work “Old Tillie Turveycombe’S Floating By” (From ‘Tillie’) by William Heath Robinson was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2012. It achieved a price of GBP 750.00 (€ 924.96), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Heath Robinson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sane Economy of Space at a Wedding Reception in a Small Flat in April 2011 with an auction result of USD 17,500.00 (€ 11,807.57).
