Full description

A painted space-themed backglass dominated by a huge blue-and-white comet streaking diagonally down from the upper left across the top third, its bright white nucleus and long pale blue tail fading into a dark blue starfield. The title HALLEY COMET is lettered in large slanted, italicised block capitals, medium blue with a darker blue outline, tucked into the comet's tail at the upper left. Centre of the glass is a futuristic city: a group of rounded, silver-lilac domed towers and ribbed barrel-vaulted structures with horizontal louvre bands and small lit windows, sitting on a floating white saucer-like platform with a thin fin rising behind it. Beneath the city, a broad ochre-brown asteroid belt of lumpy rocks floats over an orange-gold glow, with smaller red-brown rocks scattered to the sides. The lower fifth carries four blank red rectangular score windows, two each side, flanked by small white panels bearing red-and-white diamond/rocket emblems. A small circular emblem ringed with lettering sits between the upper pair of windows. Dominant colours are deep navy blue, pale icy blue-white, warm orange-amber, and dusty mauve-grey. Airbrushed, photographic-painting style typical of late electro-mechanical art. Visible wear, edge yellowing and a faded label area on the upper left.
