Being away from my auction records, I'm only guessing - but is this the world record for Origin? Link Not by any stretch the nicest copy to come on the market recently, either...... And this contrasts with the generally soft prices at the South Kensington branch, yesterday.....

I'm sure that you have seen pharmaceutical advertising in doctor's offices on everything from tissues to note pads. Well, in my book, this one should get the prize....
