Distinctive

Two bare-chested boxers squaring off mid-ring, one in blue trunks with red hair and one in red trunks with black hair, framed by an exploding yellow starburst carrying the title. A referee in a pale blue shirt stands at the right edge with hands raised. A yellow ribbon of alternating red and blue scoring numerals (100 through 900) sweeps across the lower third, above a row of coloured teardrop price ovals. The title uses a green cursive 'Williams' script over yellow block letters with black outlines.

Full description

A painted boxing-scene backglass, airbrushed cartoon/comic style with bold flat colour and black keylines. Upper left carries the title: green cursive script 'Williams' with a white fill and drop shadow, over two stacked words 'GOLDEN' and 'GLOVES' in large yellow block capitals with heavy black outline and a red inner shadow. A white starburst of yellow-and-black rays explodes behind the title. The centre shows two bare-chested boxers in a ring: on the left a red-haired man in royal-blue trunks with white waistband, olive-green boots and green gloves, crouched and throwing a right; on the right a taller black-haired man in red trunks with white waistband, olive boots and green gloves, arm extended. Behind them at right stands a referee in a pale blue shirt, dark tie and grey trousers, hands raised. A row of small painted spectators' heads runs behind the ring ropes. Left of centre, red 'MILLIONS' above stacked numerals 1·2·3, 4·5·6, 7·8 with white and blue shadowing. The lower third is a yellow 'THOUSANDS' ribbon of alternating red and blue numerals 100 to 900, and beneath it a white banner reading 'THOUSANDS' over a row of coloured teardrop-shaped price ovals from 00 to 90. Dominant colours: yellow, red, black, white.
