A selection of unique paper book sculptures that depict iconic scenes from Scottish books have fetched a whopping £50,000 at an auction in Edinburgh.
The intricate paper artworks, especially created for Scottish Book Trust a decade ago by an anonymous artist, were sold by fine art auctioneers, Lyon & Turnbull, on behalf of the charity.
Bids were accepted online for the artworks over the course of a week, with the virtual hammer falling last night at 6pm following on from a flurry of last minute offers from across the UK.
