About MeThis war trunk would have been issued to McBey when he was commissioned as a War Artist in 1917. It 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 much of which was originally stored in this trunk.

There are no works to discover for this record.
