Rare Trafalgar broadsheet poster remains unsold

Share it

A very rare surviving broadsheet poster announcing the British victory at Trafalgar in 1805 remains unsold after going on sale at an auction organised by Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh. It is believed that the poster, originally sold for 2 pence at the time and now estimated at £10,000 – £15,000, is one of only two remaining examples. A similar 'broadside' was sold at Sotheby's Trafalgar sale (5th October 2005) for £38,400.
