Colin Pykett Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Not quite as old but arguably in a similar vein is Robert Hope-Jones's personal scrapbook which recently came to light and is currently being examined and archived by the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust.

davidh Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 "Coming up at Sotheby's on 20 Nov for anyone with a couple of hundred quid to spare." Estimate 100,000 — 150,000 GBP Couple of hundred thousand? If only there was some consistency in using commas and dots as decimal points and thousands markers. I could afford £150, but not the larger amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox Humana Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yes, bad proof-reading as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innate Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 As if Sotheby’s would give such prominence to a lot with an estimate of £150. The proof-reading seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it was by Canaletto - and was insured by the new purchaser for ten million quid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
