Please note

This domain is primarily a pictorial online Archive. In an endeavour to do justice to the quality of the images on display, large files are unavoidable, inevitably affecting download time considerably on systems operating with a narrow bandwidth. For this site to be user-friendly has certainly been of concern. Reducing file sizes in favour of reduced download time, however, has proven detrimental to the graphic representation in all areas. In an effort to avoid misrepresentation of the subtlety of Barry Kay's work, the Archive decided to opt for a longer download time. - Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.

The Barry Kay Archive is not responsible for contents of external internet sites and for broken links.
