The following extract from Sidney Gilpin's biography of the artist appeared in The Carlisle Journal, June 22, 1844:
"We have just seen on the easel of Mr S. Bough, a most promising young artist of this city, a view of the seeple-chase on Broadfield. Some excellent likenesses have been introduced,and the picture is one of interest and beauty, and will when finished materially advance. Mr Bough's reputation as an artist". Another friend of Bough assures me that he saw the blank spaces left in this picture for Harrington to paint in the horses, although the writer in the newspaper does not even hint at its being the production of more than one hand.
In order to raise funds, the two artists combined and worked hard to produce a series of hunting pictures, which when finished were sent to Coldstream to be disposed of by the Art Union system.
