^Lot 1313 Fine Art Print, Signed & Numbered.

By John Clymer, titled "The Old Nez Perce Trail", Number 298 of 975, with Certificate of Authenticity. Matted and framed measures 36" x 23 1/2". From The Phippen Art Museum. John Clymer was born in Ellensburg, Washington and had an early desire to live in wilderness mountain areas and pursue a career in forestry. At age 13, he sold two drawings to Colt Firearms. It was not until 1964, however, that he began fine art painting full time, achieving much recognition and fame as a chronicler of the Northwestern Indians of whom he did many sketches and took photographs before doing the final work. With his historian, he traveled the Northwest to research a history filled with noted persons such as the Nez Perce Indians, Chief Joseph, Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark Indians, and fur traders and trappers. Clymer's original work sells exceedingly well for 6 figure amounts.
