Royal Guard / Palace Guard

A brightly coloured cartoon backglass in a cream-painted wooden backbox frame. A yellow banner across the top carries the title 'PALACE GUARD' in big red block capitals with white and black outlines, preceded by slanted yellow script with a black drop shadow. Two painted stone arches with green foliage behind divide the scene below: guards in scarlet tunics, blue trousers and tall black bearskin hats march left to right across turquoise ground, watched by crowds in orange, pink, yellow and green. A yellow crest with a crowned lion hangs between the arches. In the lower half a woman in a red beret stands at left, a fair-haired woman in a red tartan cape faces right, a red-haired woman in profile and a woman in a pink jacket with a white sailor hat stand centre, and at right a woman in a yellow fur hat and a man in a mustard check suit. A four-window score reel sits centrally, with a red 'PREVIEW ALPHA SCORE' box and yellow 'BONUS' box at right, and a red arch of ten numbered ovals below.

Rectangular backglass with a cream header band across the top carrying a red cursive wordmark reading 'Gottlieb's' at left and large block capitals 'ROYAL GUARD' in red with yellow fill and dark outline. Below, the scene is divided by two green-topped arches into a park walkway. Five tall guards in scarlet tunics with white cross-belts, blue trousers and towering black bearskin hats march left to right across a turquoise pavement; two of them blow long gold bugles. A sixth guard stands rigidly in a wooden sentry box at the far left. Behind the arches, crowds of onlookers in summer dress — cloche hats, floral dresses, plus-fours, a man in a dark suit and hat — stand on grass under round-canopied trees, and a golden heraldic lion crest sits on a pink-and-white column between the arches. Foreground bottom: a blonde woman in a green swimsuit raises a blue box camera to her eye, a red-haired man and an auburn-haired woman look up, a smiling blonde woman in a white-and-magenta officer uniform with a peaked cap and gold crown motif gestures with one hand, and two women are seen from behind in a blue cloche hat and a white sailor hat. At far right a moustached man in a green checked suit holds a small bird on a perch.
