Although the entry for picture number 454 is missing from Robert Salmon's personal catalogue of paintings, number 453 is accounted for, dated 1825, and confirms that Salmon was painting in Greenock, Scotland at the time. The Scottish subject of this work clearly aligns with Salmon working from here in 1825, 1826, and early 1827; this is following his move from Liverpool in 1824 and before his departure for London in 1827.
