<p>Although known as ‘Yorkshire Moorland’, the date 1906 does not fit with any of the Yorkshire excursions recorded by MacColl in his <i>Chronological List of Places</i> at which Steer painted (<i>op. cit.</i>, p.186), although in his catalogue of oil <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/p/painting" title="Glossary definition for 'Painting'"><span>paintings</span></a> he dates two views of Richmond, Yorkshire, to 1906. The Yorkshire visits were made in 1903 and 1904. The title passed unchallenged by MacColl, who lists it as above.</p>
