Notes

The following description was provided by James Gardiner: As the word 'gay' in a homosexual context became more widely used in the second half of the twentieth century, it began by degrees to lose it's original meaning of happy or joyful; by the beginning of the twenty-first century it was never colloquially used in that context.
This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
