Painted backglass for a multi-player electro-mechanical game, laid out as four separate player stations around a busy carnival-stage scene. A large block-letter title 'JUBILEE' in pink-red capitals with a pale cream inner highlight and dark outline sits across the top centre on a turquoise-blue panel, with a small red script logo above it. The background is a hot pink wall covered in faint white hieroglyph-style squiggles, with teal and blue geometric panels. Four keyhole-shaped black signs read 1 UP (top left, framed by a gold trumpet bell), 2 UP (top right), 3 UP (centre left) and 4 UP (centre right); white score windows with six black digit drums sit beneath 1 UP, 2 UP and 3 UP, with a second row of five digit windows beside the 3 UP and 4 UP circles. Around eight female figures in white-and-pink Egyptian-style dresses and striped blue-and-gold headdresses are scattered across the art, most holding long yellow-gold trumpets or raising their arms; a bearded man in a pink robe and striped headcloth stands at left. A teal fluted column rising from a bowl of blue-and-yellow flames occupies the lower centre. Bold cartoon illustration with heavy black outlines.
