I'm always happy to include other mentions of the Cartoon Art Trust in publications. I stumbled across this 1992 book celebrating 200 years since the birth of illustrator George Cruikshank.

Flier...

Associated with the exhibition was this booklet. A recent ebay seller described it thus...

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
