Distinctive

A flamboyant woman singer in a feathered headdress, pink tights and a spotted tutu stands at the right singing into a microphone with one arm thrown straight up, musical notes floating beside her. She stands on top of an oversized Ace of hearts playing card, in front of a giant white marching drum. Behind and to the left a mob of wide-grinning cartoon jesters in crowns and striped costumes crowd together, one holding a domino tile aloft. The title SUPER TRIS is slanted diagonally in thick red block letters with white and black drop shadows. A vertical strip of five card-suit pips in white circles runs down the left edge.

Full description

A brightly coloured cartoon backglass dominated by a diagonal red-orange and yellow background, split into broad triangular colour fields. A large white-and-red 3D block-letter logo reading SUPER TRIS sits diagonally across the lower left half. Six playing-card suit pips run vertically down the left edge inside white circles: heart, spade, heart, club, heart. Across the middle is a cluster of grinning cartoon court figures: a white-masked crowned jester at left with a ruff and a red-and-white striped robe; a rosy-cheeked jester in a blue, red and white pointed crown grinning open-mouthed while holding a yellow guitar-like instrument; a yellow-and-black striped jester holding a domino tile overhead; a white-faced figure in a bat-like black cape and red-trimmed crown at the back right; and a figure beating a large white drum with red rim. At the right a woman in a white feathered headdress, pink leotard, white spotted tutu, pink tights and heeled shoes sings into a handheld microphone, one arm raised overhead, with musical notes drawn beside her. A large playing card (A of hearts) peeks out behind her skirt near the bottom. Top left is a rectangular silver-framed window with a bright glare; above it the instruction BALL and PLAY. Condition: strong specular glare across the top, scuffs and scratches, and a small red scuff mark at upper left.
