About MeHandwritten list within a sketchbook owned by James McBey, possibly detailing titles for some of the sketches. The titles read, "Coming Inside (Hilanderas)", "Point Law Evening", "Approach Fish Market", "Friday by Moonlight", and another which is illegible. As the titles are not alongside the sketches though, it is difficult to determine which ones they refer to.

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.
