| Note: | 1. The 13 September 2008 sale catalog incorrectly identifies the painting with [Yosemite Valley from Union Point], a similar painting in the Schafer catalog. 2. A painting with almost the same title (it omits the words "Looking South") was offered as lot 54 on page 5 of the catalog of a 17 November 1885 auction in San Francisco but there is not enough information in that catalog to either include or exclude the possibility that it is this painting. |
