Fingerprint: Enormous pale blue oval shooting-gallery target with red-white bullseye surrounded by white birds with dark blue heads, blonde woman in red-white striped dress leaning into air rifle, man in red cap pedaling red bicycle up yellow ramp, fun fair script in lime-green and yellow striped awning
The single most memorable element is an enormous pale blue oval shooting-gallery target with a red-and-white bullseye, surrounded by a ring of white birds with dark blue heads. Immediately below, a blonde woman in a red-and-white striped dress leans into an air rifle while a man in a red cap and dark jacket pedals a red bicycle up a steep yellow-green ramp straight past her. The words fun fair in huge red lower-case script on a lime-green and yellow striped awning dominate the top right. A cluster of brightly coloured balloons and bunting fills the left edge, and the whole card sits inside a white border printed with alternating red and blue triangles and blocks.

A painted fairground scene on a card insert, framed by a white outer border decorated with red and blue triangles and rectangles. The upper right third is dominated by a huge shooting-gallery target: a pale blue oval disc with concentric red and white bullseye rings, ringed by white game birds with blue heads perched on pink-and-white and blue-and-white striped boards. Above it a lime-green and yellow striped awning carries the title fun fair in big lower-case red script with a white and dark outline, the two words arcing, with FIGLIARO INGLESE DELLE BOTTEGHE in small black capitals above and SENZA RIPETIZIONE and DELLA PARTITA in green ribbon banners either side of a small oval maker signature. Top left holds a black-framed window with a PUNTEGGIO MASSIMO RAGGIUNTO label and the digits 0,050. The left and lower half show a crowded fairground: a blonde woman in a red-and-white striped dress sighting a rifle, a man in a red cap astride a red bicycle on a yellow ramp, a man in a red suit and pale blue hat at lower left, a seated man in a yellow shirt at right, a blonde woman in pink behind the riflewoman, balloon clusters, bunting, a striped booth with attendants, and a steel tower against a pale blue sky.

The single most memorable element is the giant tilted prize wheel with its pale blue face, concentric red-white-blue bullseye centre and ring of oval targets, mounted on a yellow and green cabinet. Second is the huge white slab-serif TIVOLI title set against a deep blue starburst sky, with the mechanical reel score window reading 2,107 to its left. A grinning fairground barker in a maroon jacket and blue cap points a long stick at the wheel, while a cluster of carnival-goers crowd a red-and-white striped counter to the left. Multicoloured balloons, fireworks and a cotton-candy glass complete the funfair scene.

A painted, cartoon-illustrated backglass on a deep blue night-sky background with a fairground midway. Top right carries a huge white block-capital title TIVOLI in a heavy slab serif with a thin dark outline. Top left is a mechanical score window in a black housing showing the digits 2,107 on white reels, and beneath it a yellow instruction panel reading 1.o VIAGGIO / MASSIMO / RAGGIUNTO. Diagonal fireworks and radiating white starburst lines fill the sky above a green hillside, with a small palm tree at the upper left edge. The centre-right is dominated by a large tilted prize wheel on a yellow-and-green cabinet: a pale blue disc with concentric red, white and blue bullseye rings and a ring of oval targets, mounted above a red base draped in a yellow-and-orange star-spangled cloth. A barker in a maroon jacket, blue cap and black bow tie stands at the wheel pointing a long stick towards it. Left of centre a smiling fairground family group: a blonde young woman in a blue-and-white striped sleeveless dress, blue socks and red shoes leans over a red-and-white striped counter; behind her a man in a tan straw boater hat and white shirt grins while holding a small brown dog. Below them a man in a bright blue jacket holds a blonde woman in a yellow blouse and pink skirt who carries a glass of pink cotton candy. At the far left a cluster of multicoloured balloons rises behind a woman in a red jacket and ruffled collar holding a large handbag. A striped red-and-white and blue-and-white barrier runs across the lower half. Bottom centre a white bar reads SENZA RIPETIZIONE DELLA PARTITA, with a small red signature box between the two halves.

Fingerprint: FUN LAND title, blonde woman in striped swimsuit bending over yellow diving board, red-bobbed woman on red motorbike, giant pale-blue fairground ride with red-white bullseye targets and flying caps, crowded seaside scene
The most memorable element is a huge pale-blue circular fairground ride on the right, painted with red-and-white concentric bullseye targets and ringed by tumbling white-and-blue peaked caps, as if the ride is flinging hats into the air. Cutting diagonally across the whole composition is a bright yellow diving board, over which a blonde woman in a red-and-white striped swimsuit bends forward. The arched red title FUN LAND sits high on a green-and-yellow striped awning, and a four-reel window showing 1,5,7,6 hangs at upper left. The bottom third is a crush of laughing fairgoers around a red motorbike, with a balloon and lollipop cluster at far left.

A square backglass set into a white cabinet whose paint is chipped, grubby and spotted with age, framed by tall tapered red-and-white stripes down each side and a row of red and blue triangles along the bottom edge. The painted scene is a crowded seaside fairground in flat 1970s airbrushed cartoon style. Upper left holds a black-rimmed rectangular score window with four mechanical reels reading 1,5,7,6. Upper right carries the main title FUN LAND in large arched red serif capitals with a white outline and dark shadow, painted over a green-and-yellow striped awning. A dark green maker's plate on a yellow ribbon banner runs across the top, with a small metal licence plate mounted in the middle of it. Dominant colours are red, sky blue, green and yellow. The centre is packed with fairgoers: a blonde woman in a red-and-white striped swimsuit leaning over a yellow diving board, a red-bobbed woman in a blue top behind a man in black on a red motorbike, a dark-haired woman in a yellow dress holding an ice-cream cone, and children in white peaked caps. Behind them a great pale-blue circular ride painted with red-and-white bullseye targets throws caps into the air.

Illuminated backglass for a mid-1970s electro-mechanical game, drawn in a flat bright comic style with thick black outlines. A horizontal bar divides the top: at the top right a huge slab-serif title, FUN PARK, in yellow and red with heavy black shadow, with a red script artist signature scrawled at top left. Beneath the title on a green lawn panel sits a small white label reading PREVIOUS HIGH SCORE in red capitals. Top left is a black score bar holding three white rectangular reel cards showing black digits reading 1.0, 5 and 9. The right half shows a giant blue bullseye target: a red-and-white concentric bullseye on a light blue padded disc with four smaller red-ringed circles, mounted above a brown grandstand full of white-shaded heads. The left half is a funfair scene with a string of red, yellow, blue and orange balloons, a woman in a red-and-white striped mini-dress and red stiletto shoes, and a partly visible man beside her; a yellow slide descends into a dark blue cannon-mouth hole. Across the bottom runs a blue panel of black-and-white reel digits 1 to 10, with a red rounded box reading BALLS TO PLAY at the right.
