Samuel Bough (1822-1878) was born in Carlisle, where he received his early artistic training under Matthew Ellis Nutter. Around 1839, he spent a brief period in London studying with the architect and artist Thomas Allom before returning to Carlisle for three years. In 1843, he moved to Manchester to work as an assistant scene painter at the Theatre Royal. By late 1848, he had taken up a similar role at the Princess Theatre in Glasgow. Bough transitioned to full-time landscape painting after the success of Baggage Waggons – Carlisle in the Distance, exhibited at the West of Scotland Academy in 1849. In 1855, he settled in Edinburgh, where he remained for most of his life, becoming a significant figure in Scottish landscape art.
