Despite the grumblings by auctioneer, Richard Westwood-Brookes that he is not appreciated in Ludlow when he comes to sell his Nazi memorabilia at the racecourse, he’s back again to auction three more masterworks by the deceased Fuhrer. [See my blog and his response at  www.peterburden.net/archives/132 last April]

Evidently news of the prices fetched by Mullocks Auctions for the last batch of Hitler’s youthful daubs auctioned in Ludlow has reached the US. The star offering this time – a  painting of a town by a lake – was bought directly from young Adolf as a memento in Vienna in 1908 by American tourist, Anna Sheersmith whose great, great niece from New Jersy family are now moved to sell it, at a guide price of £10,000 – about £9,970 more than it would be worth if it hadn’t been painted by a famous mass-murderer-to-be, according to experts.

If you are a collector of this kind of thing, an auction takes place on October 1^st, 2009.
