About MeCutting from the Chicago Evening Post, Magazine of the Art World, dated Tuesday 26 November 1929, with an image of portrait "Miss E. Arnot Robertson" by James McBey. E. Arnot Robertson, or Eileen Arbuthnot Robertson, was a good friend of James McBey, known to him as Billy Turner.

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.
