Sing Along / Melody

A hand-painted, cartoon-illustration backglass of a village music festival scene, cracked and worn with a visible vertical and horizontal break line. A red brick building with two arched doorways and a street lamp fills the upper left, while the upper right is a pale blue sky with a large yellow diamond-shaped panel carrying a five-window score display. Down the centre top runs a vertical blue banner of stacked yellow lozenges spelling MUSIC in red letters. The main title HARMONY appears on a large white sheet of music paper in the lower centre in tall red block capitals with dark outlines, with the smaller black subtitle RIGHARDINO ELETTRICO GOTTLIEB beneath it. Around two dozen small figures in mid-century dress fill the scene: girls in white and blue smocks and a woman in a green dress with a white collar stand at the left doorway; a clown in a yellow ruff and red-spotted costume plays a drum in the centre; women in red coats and dark hats gather at a stall on the right; children, an accordion player, a boy in a checked shirt and a small pink pig stand in the lower foreground. Dominant colours are red, blue, yellow, green and cream.

A tall, portrait-format backglass with a cream outer border and a dark navy inner frame painted as a village street scene. A huge cream sheet-music scroll dominates the lower centre, printed with black music staves and notes and carrying the title TROUBADOUR in big yellow block capitals with black outline, arched across it. The scene shows a fairground and cafe piazza: at upper left four women in pale coats and hats queue outside a red-doored arched building where a woman in a green dress stands in the doorway; a vertical red-brick sign reads MUSIC in yellow letters; a man in a white shirt, dark trousers and flat cap carries a tray of glasses near centre. In the middle a striped-shirt boy in red trousers runs left, a man reclines on a deckchair, and a group of four (two women in yellow tops, a woman in a yellow dress, and a man in a yellow shirt) stand singing. To the right, a kiosk with green-and-yellow striped awning serves a crowd of eight or more women and girls in red, cream and blue dresses; a boy in a red-and-white check shirt stands by the stall. Lower left an elderly bearded man in blue cap and yellow scarf talks to three men and a woman beside the music scroll; a woman in a yellow coat and green hat stands by a lit carriage lamp and a pale blue vintage car at right. Heavy chipping and paint loss on the navy border.

A tall rectangular backglass with a stepped teal, cream and dark-blue border, the lower edge cut into a notch with a light-blue five-pointed star at bottom centre. The scene is a crowded seaside pier or lido swimming-baths scene painted in flat, bright, mid-century cartoon style. At top left a pink-and-red brick building with a red arched doorway and a green arched snack bar, flanked by figures in white beach coats and bathing suits. A yellow sign with a black border at the very top reads PREVIOUS HIGH SCORE. Down the centre-left runs a vertical stack of five blue circles spelling MUSIC in yellow letters. To the right a large yellow arrow-tipped hexagonal panel holds three white windows reading 11 11 31 21, against a blue sky with clouds. Below, a shallow blue swimming pool fills the middle: children and adults in striped and yellow bathing suits, one child diving head-first in a red-and-white striped suit, a woman in a red polka-dot dress and sunglasses, a girl in a red swimsuit holding a beach ball, and a couple in a green deckchair. The lower third is dominated by a white arched banner carrying MELODY in large red serif capitals, with a white number row 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 in red-outlined circles, and a small yellow BALLS PLAY circle at right.

A tall rectangular backglass with a pale turquoise/sea-green border frame carrying a large five-pointed blue star centred on the bottom rail and a white arrow motif at lower left. Inside, a cartoon-illustrated singalong and dance-hall scene fills a black-outlined rounded-rectangle window. The backdrop is a red brick building with two arched doorways at upper left, a row of five round clock- or window-like discs on a vertical strip, and a large white diamond marquee at upper right containing four mechanical score windows reading 1 7 8 5, with two dark cannon-barrel-like tubes pointing in from the right edge. Some two dozen cartoon children and adults in 1950s dress fill a blue-grey plaza: girls in red, pink and white full skirts with puffed sleeves, boys in shorts, sweaters and capri trousers, a woman in a cream coat and hat at right, a figure in a black-and-white checked skirt at centre-left, children playing on a slide at lower left, and a woman in a cream coat at lower right beside a red boxy jukebox or camera on a tripod. Across the lower centre a sheet of music paper carries the title in huge red block capitals, SING / ALONG, on a white staff-printed background.
