Bullfight

Full-length shot of a 1950s pop-action electro-mechanical playfield, seen with the chrome ball-guide rails and the red-and-cream cabinet front below it. The art is a bright, flat, airbrushed comic scene: five painted figures in mid-playfield. A dark-haired man in a royal-blue military-style jacket with gold braid and a huge flowing scarlet cape stands centre-bottom, one arm flung upward in a showman gesture. Above him on the left a blonde woman in a sleeveless scarlet dress leans on a wooden rail beside a dark-haired man in a blue tuxedo jacket; on the right a blonde woman in a green dress is held close by a grinning man in a white ruffled harlequin suit. Cherry-red apples and small cherries are scattered over a pale blue sky, with purple and yellow concentric arch stripes filling both top corners and a yellow-and-red sunburst rosette at the very top. Lettering is all caps in red, black and white: TARGET SELECTOR across the top arch, with five red 100-value round bumpers below it and three white pop-bumper caps reading 10 WHEN LIT. Teardrop and oval target inserts read 50 WHEN LIT, 30 WHEN LIT, SPECIAL WHEN LIT, 10 WHEN LIT and ADVANCE TARGET SELECTOR WHEN LIT. A blue diamond at mid-playfield holds a numbered roulette wheel of red, green and black segments. The lower apron is pale speckled blue with red and blue swooshes, two white flipper bats, a script manufacturer logo over MANUFACTURING COMPANY CHICAGO ILLINOIS U.S.A., a four-line score rules card, a red TILT ENDS GAME plate, 5 BALLS 5c, and an orange arrow reading FLIPPER BUTTONS ON SIDES OF CABINET.

A painted, cartoon-styled backglass set into a white and red cabinet surround, photographed slightly off-square with the white plastic frame and cracked, scuffed cream-coloured backboard visible around the art. The title BULLFIGHT runs across the upper left in tall crimson-red slab-serif capitals with dark shadowing, on a pale yellow scroll banner, with a smaller gold cursive script maker name at far upper left. Behind the title is a packed grandstand of hundreds of tiny multicoloured crowd figures behind a timber fence, with blue sky and wispy clouds. The centre shows a brown-and-white bull mid-crash, throwing a matador in a blue-and-gold embroidered costume with a black curly hairdo, whose yellow sash streams behind him; the bull skids on a tan dirt arena floor kicking up grey dust. Behind them a second, smaller bull-and-rider vignette sits in a rectangular inset panel. A bright yellow four-window mechanical score reel box reading 0 2 8 9 occupies the upper right, and a red arrow banner across the middle carries the word TILT in orange block letters. Five glamorous women ring the bull, all laughing, waving folding fans and wearing elaborate 1950s hairdos, flower garlands and jewellery. A white BALL IN PLAY window sits at lower right. Dominant colours are crimson red, tan, blue and yellow.

Illustrated cartoon backglass on a Spanish bullfighting theme. Across the top, a curved yellow banner reads BULLFIGHT in tall red slab-serif capitals with dark shading and a black outline; behind and above it a packed stadium of tiny multicoloured spectators sits under blue sky, with pale vertical posts and bunting of red, green and white triangular flags strung along the arena wall. The sandy ochre arena floor fills the middle. Left of centre a matador in a bright blue and violet suit with gold braid stands holding a sword, facing a charging dark brown bull with a white face marking and curved white horns. Behind them a second bullfighter in blue sits on a rearing brown horse, holding a banderilla. A huge red cape sweeps diagonally across the middle of the frame, with a red rose lying on the sand. Along the bottom edge six young women in Spanish dress are crowded together, holding open fans and wearing roses, beads and mantillas. Bottom right a yellow-framed white window reads BALL IN PLAY in red block letters. Dominant colours are red, yellow, blue and ochre.
