evidence:-	old painting:-
source data:-	Painting, oil painting, Baggage Waggons Approaching Carlisle, Cumberland, by Samuel Bough, 1849.   click to enlarge PR0970.jpg The painting shows baggage waggons followed by weary troops and their families toiling along the road to Carlisle at Newtown. This road followed the canal from Port Carlisle, where steamers are likely to have brought the troops from Ireland. There is no historical significance to the troops' presence in the painting however. Bough's sister Anne modelled for the soldier's wife with child. Carlisle canal is visible on the left and the Carlisle skyline can be seen in the distance. Bough's great skill at handling weather effects can be seen in the showery sky. See the Carlisle Journal 7.7.1896 and 10.7.1896  Bough also painted a smaller oil version of this subject titled 'Convoy' which is now in the Beaverbook Art Gallery, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Interestingly, it shows the soldiers advancing towards the viewer.  One of Bough's most important paintings; it marked a turning point in his career as an artist after which he began exhibiting regularly at major Scottish and English exhibitions. He painted it in the first year after his marriage in Glasgow.  item:-  Tullie House Museum : 1955.87 Image © Tullie House Museum
