About MeIn this album we can see a clear progression of McBey's thoughts and ideas surrounding the creation of his drypoint etching The Morgan at Mystic. We begin with early sketches from 30 October 1942 and move to the next day with colour studies and more sketches from different angles. The sketches evolve into etchings which also pass through many stages before becoming fully realised plates from which to print the final artwork.
