Enoch Wood Perry (1831-1915), Vernal Falls, Yosemite Valley (1863), oil on canvas, 42 x 36 inches, signed and dated lower right.
In late July 1863, Enoch Wood Perry, along with writer Fitz Hugh Ludlow, painters Albert Bierstadt and Virgil Williams, and geologist John Hewston embarked on a six-week journey into the Yosemite Valley. Well-documented by Ludlow and in newspaper accounts, their trip was also portrayed in Virgil Williams’ famous painting entitled On the Mariposa Trail, which depicts Williams’ four companions along the Merced River.
Vernal Falls, Yosemite Valley, painted ten years before Yosemite became a National Park, is believed to be the first-ever painting of this landmark.

Conditions of Sale
The following Terms and Conditions of Sale are the Coeur d'Alene Art Auction's and its consignors' entire agreement with the purchaser relative
to the property listed in this catalog. These Terms and Conditions of Sale and all other contents of this catalog are subject to amendment during or
before the sale. The property will be offered by the Coeur d'Alene Art Auction as agent for the consignors, unless the catalog indicates otherwise.
1 Coeur d'Alene Art Auction operates as an agent of the seller
only. It is not responsible in the event any buyer or seller
at the auction sale fails to live up to their respective agreements,
including failure of the seller to deliver any property to buyers.
The purchase price will be the sum of the final bid price plus
a buyer's premium of 17% of the final bid price of each lot up
to and including $500,000 and 12% of the excess of the final
bid price above $500,000, plus any applicable sales tax. The
buyer's premium is calculated separately for each lot.
2 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids
are per lot as numbered in the catalog. Successful bidders
shall pay for their purchases during or immediately following
the auction. Payment may be made by cash, credit card, or
check made payable to Coeur d'Alene Art Auction. Credit card
purchases cannot exceed $10,000 regardless of the number of
lots.
3 All sales are final, with no exchanges or refunds. Title to the
lot passes to buyer upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer
and the announcement by the auctioneer that the lot has been
sold, subject to compliance by the buyer with all other Conditions
of Sale. The buyer assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot
and shall immediately pay the full purchase price. In addition,
buyer may be required to sign a confirmation of purchase. We
reserve the right to impose a late charge of 18% per annum of the
total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with
this paragraph.
4 No lot may be removed from our premises until the
buyer has paid the purchase price in full. Subject to the
foregoing, all lots are to be paid for and removed from our
premises at the buyer's expense within twenty-four hours after
the conclusion of the auction. Buyer may make arrangements
with representatives of Coeur d'Alene Art Auction for shipment
of purchased items. However, such shipping is at the entire risk
of buyer, as Coeur d'Alene Art Auction shall not be responsible
for acts or omissions in shipping or packaging or those of other
carriers, whether recommended or selected by Coeur d'Alene
Art Auction or not.
5 Unless exempted by law, the purchaser is required to pay
Nevada State Sales Tax. This tax is not applicable on out-ofstate
shipments.
6 Some items may be offered with a "reserve", which is the
minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Coeur
d'Alene Art Auction may act to protect the reserve by bidding
through the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open bidding
on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the
Consignor. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the
Consignor up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing
consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
In no event shall the reserve exceed the low estimate listed in
the catalog.
7 All property will be sold "AS IS", and the Coeur d'Alene
Art Auction does not make any guarantees, warranties or
representations, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose, the correctness of the catalog or
other description of the authenticity, physical condition, size,
quality, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibitions,
literature or historical relevance of any property. No statement,
anywhere, whether oral or written, whether made in the
catalog, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or
announcement, or elsewhere, shall be deemed such a warranty,
representation or assumption of liability. In no event shall The
Coeur d'Alene Art Auction be responsible for genuineness,
authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source,
origin or condition of the purchased property and no verbal
statements made regarding this property either before or after
the sale of the state property, or in any bill of sale, or invoice or
catalog or advertisement or elsewhere shall be deemed such a
guarantee of genuineness.
8 The Coeur d'Alene Art Auction reserves the right to
withdraw any property at any time before the actual sale and
shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
9 The Coeur d'Alene Art Auction reserves the right to reject
any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer
will be the purchaser, subject to reserves. In the event of any
dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt as to the
validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have the final discretion
to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or reopen
and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the
sale, the Coeur d'Alene Art Auction’s sale record shall be final
and conclusive. The Coeur d'Alene Art Auction, at its discretion,
may execute orders or absentee bids as a convenience to clients
who are not present at the auction; however, the Coeur d'Alene
Art Auction is not responsible for any errors or omissions in
connection therewith.
10 If the auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not
commensurate with the value of the article offered, he
may reject the same and withdraw the article from the sale; and if,
having acknowledged an opening bid, he decides that any advance
thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the advance.
11 Bidding increments will be as follows but may vary at the
sole discretion of the auctioneer.
