Although known as ‘Yorkshire Moorland’, the date 1906 does not fit with any of the Yorkshire excursions recorded by MacColl in his Chronological List of Places at which Steer painted (op. cit., p.186), although in his catalogue of oil paintings 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.
