About MeBlack and white photograph of a Moorish arched gateway in Marrakech, Morocco. James McBey frequently depicted the distinctive red walls of the city, so this photograph, taken by himself or Marquerite, may have 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.
