About MePostcard depicting "Arrival in Cologne" by Hans Hemling from his Saint Ursula Shrine, created in 1489. The shrine is located in the Memling Museum, Sint-Janshospitaal, Bruges, and the postcard belonged to James McBey. McBey most likely picked it up on his travels early in his career.

The postcard is kept within a portfolio of articles and cuttings that belonged to James McBey, which he kept because they were of interest.

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 postcard.
