About MeArticle printed in an unknown newspaper, which discusses an upcoming exhibition of over 200 etchings and drypoints by James McBey at Aberdeen Art Gallery. The exhibition was made possible by the recent donation of these works from Mr H.H. Kynett, a personal friend of McBey.

Other significant collections of McBey's work, such as the donation from Albert H. Wiggin in the Print Room at the Boston Public Library, and the Rosenwald Collection belonging to the National Gallery, Washington, are also mentioned.

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.
