About MeNewspaper cutting from The New York Times Book Review, dated Sunday 1 June, 1930, with article "Briand: A Man of the People" by L. V. Updegraff on one side. The other has articles "Boccaccio's "Decameron" in Two New Translations" by Thomas Caldecott Chubb, and "A Handful of Spoofs on Contemporary Writers" by John Carter.

The cutting 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 newspaper cutting.
