Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Barque Sumatra of Llanelly Approaching The South Stack Lighthouse by William Howard Yorke was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2006. It changed hands for a price of GBP 4,800.00 (€ 7,006.44) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Howard Yorke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The American clipper Caravan rendering assistance to a British full-rigger in mid-Atlantic, which sold at auction in July 2003 for USD 23,900.00 (€ 19,415.11).
