About MeArticle written by James Greig from page 56 of The Graphic printed on 13 January 1912. It discusses James McBey's career, praises his etching technique, compares his work to Rembrandt, and discusses the etching "Amsterdam from Ransdorp" (see ABDAG001795).

The article has been glued onto a sheet of paper, and "From Mr Conway Oct 1951" is handwritten in pencil on the bottom right corner.

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 newspaper article.
