The Cartoon Art Trust auctions

I've looked at the various publications associated with the Cartoon Art Trust / Cartoon Museum before. 
Newsletters can be found here;
An incomplete look at exhibition catalogues is here

And now for something different - the sales catalogues for two fundraising auctions that Bonhams held back in the 1990s. They may have been other auctions but, for now, these are the only two I'm aware of.

First up is this sale on Tuesday 26th September 1995



The second, "The Cartoon Art Trust Fin de Siecle Charity Auction", was held on Thursday 20th May 1999

This was a much smaller auction, just 40 lots this time. None of the lots have a estimate and I don't know the 'hammer' price on any of the lots. I'd have bid on...

lot 6 - three detailed Brian Bolland sketches for covers to Batman and The Invisibles
lot 21 - 2 pages of V for Vendetta art by David Lloyd
lot 30 - 2000AD cover by John Higgins - featuring Dredd blasting a robot 
lot 31 - Martha Washington title page ('Attack of the flesh-eating monsters') by Dave Gibbons
