Frederick Ferdinand Schafer Painting Catalog

Auction sales are recorded here first under the name of the auction house, and then in order by the date of the sale, recent sales first. In most instances, a catalog for the sale provides some data (title, size, medium, and inscriptions) about the painting or paintings offered.
Nineteenth-Century Auctioneers and Sales are in a separate list, again by auction house, but with the oldest sale first.
As with dealers, the names of auction houses are alphabetized by the first letter or word of the advertised house name. Thus C. G. Sloan appears under the letter "C" rather than the letter "S".

Nineteenth-Century Auctioneers and Sales
In contrast with the citations listed earlier, every pre-20th century auction that is known to have contained paintings by Schafer is listed here, whether or not it is cited in the text of the catalog. Many of these sales are known only by a newspaper advertisement. Although some of these advertisements advise that a catalog is available, very few of those catalogs have been located; some of those reported located in the 1970's have since been lost. None of these catalogs are located in Ellen Halteman Schwartz, Nineteenth Century San Francisco Art Exhibition Catalogs.
Note that the San Francisco addresses given here pre-date the 1906 earthquake and fire.

- 29 July 1882, at 624 Market Street, San Francisco. Many artists. From advertisement in San Francisco Chronicle XXXVI, 13, 28 July 1882. (Advertisement suggests that contents may be unsold lots from the 15 July 1882 sale.)
- 10 November 1884 to 12 November 1884, at Irving Hall, 139 Post Street, San Francisco. 200 paintings, many artists. From advertisement in San Francisco Chronicle XL, 118, page 2 column 7, 10 November 1884.
- 17 November 1885, at Irving Hall, 139 Post Street, San Francisco. From advertisements in the San Francisco Chronicle XLII, 124, page 4 column 9 and 125, page 7 column 9, 17 November 1885, which mention 214 items by Schafer, including over 100 sketches. There is said to be a catalog [not seen]. William K. Dick reports finding the catalog at the The Society of California Pioneers, but Patricia Trenton and Peter H.
