James McBey created several paintings and etchings with the Djemaâ El Fna as the subject, and these photographs, taken mainly by himself or Marquerite, formed part of his research.
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.
