About MeUndated article printed in an unknown newspaper, discussing the Contemporary Art Society's recent purchase of the painting "Street in Fuentarabia, Spain" by Mr. W. Y. Macgregor, and James McBey's drawing "The Trial Proof." This drawing by McBey had been exhibited in an exhibition of McBey's work at Messrs. Colnaghi and Obach's shortly before purchase.
