Nicholas Lambourn, Head of Topographical Pictures, commented: “We were very pleased with our top three prices for important early views of Brazil, Argentina and Australia, led by Taunay’s recently discovered view of Rio de Janeiro. The sale attracted interest from around the world, with buyers emerging from Trinidad and Brazil, Australia and South Africa, Singapore and India, Argentina and the Philippines. We look forward to developing an extended programme of sales in London in this category in 2015” |
