A wide, landscape-format racing backglass painted in a flat, mid-century cartoon style with heavy black outlines. The upper two-thirds is a bright yellow-green sky and rolling green countryside behind white rail fencing, with jagged yellow lightning-bolt shapes radiating around the title. The main title 'Foto Finish' runs across the top centre in large white letters with a thick red drop shadow and black outline. Top left corner is a red cursive script word 'Gottlieb's' with small trailing dots. The centre shows a photo-finish horse race: a leading pack of four racehorses in brown, chestnut, black and dark bay, ridden by jockeys in silks of red, yellow, black-and-white hoops and green, galloping left to right with dust clouds under their hooves. A second, smaller pack of riders and horses appears mid-left, and one lone horse and rider further left. Along the bottom-left, six spectators lean over a white rail: a woman in a red flowered hat, a blonde woman, a man in a pale cap, a man in a white shirt, a woman in a yellow sleeveless top holding a camera, and a man in a red cap. Two race officials, one in green and one in red, stand near the rail at right. The bottom third holds three white score panels with red and yellow borders.
