About MeArticle from page 71 of The Art Chronicle, printed on 15 December 1911, which discusses two "clever etchings" by James McBey on display in a group exhibition at the Goupil Gallery. The etchings mentioned are "Omval" (see ABDAG005471 and ABDAG005487) and "Albert Basin, Aberdeen" (ABDAG002938 and ABDAG005054). These are heavily praised and the article states McBey, "ought to have a brilliant future before him."

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 article.
