About MeThis etching, one of the first that James McBey produced, was pulled through his mother's mangle in order for the impression to be realised. At the time McBey was working in a bank and did not have access to an etching press.More About Me
This etching depicts three boys fishing at a dockside. You can almost feel their curiosity as they are peering over the edge into the water.
