About MeInvitations to 18th Wiggin Symposium at Boston Public Library, held on 22 June, 1983. The record refers to three packs of invitations, contained within large envelopes - two packs contain 20 invitations (with envelopes) and one pack contains 14 invitations (with envelopes), after Marguerite McBey apparently removed 6 invitations to take to Tangier in January, 1984.

The frontispiece of the invitations is a self-portrait of James McBey, dated 1914.

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 these invitations.

There are no works to discover for this record.
