The daily sporting life in one of England's spa towns is suggested by the composition of an equestrian, golfer and tennis player on a manicured path between tall trees. In 1926, Frank Newbould was one of five artists contracted to work exclusively for the LNER for three years. He also worked for the Great Western Railway, The Orient Line (shipping company) and the Belgian Railways. Furness vol. 4, p. 9.
