About MeList of thirty-three drawings by James McBey carried on board the Andrea Doria from Gibralter by Hortense Loeb, destined for friend and art collector H. H. Kynett. Hortense left Gibralter on 9 November 1955, but died on the journey, so the etchings were not delivered to Kynett, in Philadelphia, until 1 December 1955 (see ABDAG008310.99 to .102).

The list consists of one sheet typewritten.

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 list.
