Cartoon-style painted backglass on a green hillside under a bright blue sky with horizontal white cloud streaks. At top left a wooden sailing galleon with masts and rigging sits behind a broad red banner carrying the title in big yellow block capitals with dark outline. On the right a fair-skinned blond young man in cavalier costume dominates: wide brown felt hat, white ruffled billowing shirt, green waistcoat marked with a white cross, yellow breeches, brown boots, head tilted back laughing, gripping a long silver-barrelled musket upright. Lower left, three smaller figures crowd together in striped blue, orange and bright red seventeenth-century coats, one in a red cap with yellow plumes. A large brown horse head in profile with leather bridle and pale rein fills the bottom-left corner. Four horizontal black score reels with red numerals run down the left half, each in a chrome-edged rectangle. A circular target ringed 10, 20, 30, 50, 60 and 70 sits at mid-right, overlapped by a grey-blue spoked wheel. Over bare tan earth at bottom centre: BALL IN PLAY in white block capitals. Instruction panels and logos line the bottom edge, inside a wide pale varnished wooden frame.
