About MeTwo page handwritten tables of James McBey's etchings, the first page has a series of tally marks alongside each title, these may be intended to show how many etchings were in the edition. On the second page the etchings are listed again, but this time a mark is made alongside the names of various institutions. These are Mackay, Davidson, Aiken Dott, Goupil, and a final column which has been scored out with black ink. The marks may be intended to show which institutions had purchased specific etchings.
