Auction, Christie, Manson & Woods, 25 September 1974. And such a modest quantity.

The same sale had large quantities of other Feuerheerd vintages, and of Quinta do Sibio.

Only another 40 years to photograph Julian. What happens then? Visits to Sotheby's commence?

No. Sotheby’s has nothing like the same records. When I have typed up to 1977, I might
† be done.
† A few things need re-photographing. So there might be one more day of picture-taking, perhaps to the early 1980s. Then definitely done.

No. There is enough data; the book needs to be written.

Yes, very interesting indeed. I can't imagine seeing a memorandum like this (with its fairly objective tone) accompanying a modern sale, where the emphasis is so clearly on hyperbole.
