The James McBey Collection

The James McBey Collection, donated by the artist’s widow in 1961, is one of the largest of his work outside his native Scotland. More than 140 works including several watercolors provide a survey of his entire oeuvre. The subjects of his works relate to a lifetime of world travels to London, Holland, France, Spain, Morocco, Italy, and America. His appointment as an artist to the British Expeditionary Force in Egypt during World War I resulted in a body of work that documented the sights and people of that desert kingdom.
