True still today about the arbitrary nature of how artwork is valued in the eyes of buyers who might see it sold in the wrong venue and assign a lower value to the same piece of art.

Marcus, thanks for still popping by to see these old illustrated works. I have other stuff here, and am always searching auctions around the world, and I do sell as well. This was the only John Leech work I kept as I liked it, the other 10 more lucrative pieces I sold. There are great and interesting artworks to find, you just have to keep learning more about the areas you like!
