About MeCutting from The Christian Science Monitor, dated Friday 23 March 1945 with article, "The Home Forum: From my Library Walls." In the article there is an image of the drawing "Shipping on the Giudecca, Venice" by James McBey, which is part of the collection at the Boston Public Library.

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 cutting.
