Distinctive

The dominant feature is the huge arcing title DIAMOND JIM in chunky yellow-gold western display capitals with a thick black keyline, sweeping up the lower-left of the glass. Behind it floats a red-and-white paddle-wheel showboat on blue waves under a starry navy night sky. On the right, a blonde woman with big white spread wings in a red bodice looms over a seated yellow-haired man in a blue-and-maroon striped jacket. Ornate gold filigree scrollwork curls into three corners, and a red-to-yellow sunburst rays out behind the figures.

Full description

A painted, carnival-poster-style backglass split into two zones. The left two-thirds is a night scene: a dark navy-blue sky scattered with small yellow and white four-pointed and round stars, over a paddle-wheel river showboat seen side-on, with three red-and-white smokestacks, a white-and-red tiered cabin with a row of lit yellow windows, a long white paddle-wheel housing with red spokes, and blue-and-white wave crests along the waterline. The right third is a bright yellow-to-red radiating sunburst field. Three figures crowd the right: a blonde woman in a red bodice with large white feathered wings spread behind her shoulders, a fair-skinned man with yellow-blond hair in a blue jacket with maroon-and-white stripes, and a woman in a wide-brimmed hat partly hidden behind him. A dark rectangular score display window sits low and centred in a yellow-green field. Ornate gold-and-black scroll flourishes fill the top-left, top-right and bottom-left corners. The title arcs across the lower left in big yellow-gold western slab-serif capitals with a heavy black outline, spelling DIAMOND JIM. No score values or copyright line are legible.
