About MeTwo postcards with a black and white photograph of the promontory 'Cherifian Rocks' in Tangiers Morocco, from which Spain and Gibraltar can be seen on a clear day. The postcards have pin pricks in them marking two locations related to James McBey. The one towards the centre highlights El Foolk, a house and studio of James McBey in Tangier, while the one towards the bottom right highlights the location of McBey's grave.

This object is part of an archive that belonged to Marguerite McBey. As a result of her generosity, Aberdeen Art Gallery holds the largest archive of James McBey's work, including prints, drawings, sketchbooks, oil paintings and memorabilia such as this photograph.
