Fingerprint: mata, whole scene staged behind newspaper held by two hands at bottom centre with TEAMPIN NEWS masthead, man with enormous toothy grin in wide-brimmed hat lounging in red armchair, woman in pink dress sprawled across him, pile of banknotes and gold coins at centre flanked by bulldog and top-hatted man, dark-haired woman slumped profile against suited man with pipe, pulp-noir cartoon
The whole scene is staged behind a newspaper held up by two hands at bottom centre, its TEAMPIN NEWS masthead and playing-card photograph forming a kind of embedded screen within the picture. A man with an enormous toothy grin in a wide-brimmed hat lounges in a red armchair at the left while a pink-dressed woman lies sprawled across him, giving a comic, grotesque pulp-magazine look. A pile of loose banknotes and neat stacks of gold coins sits dead centre, flanked by a bulldog and a man in a top hat. The dark-haired woman in white slumped in profile against a suited man with a pipe or rod is the other memorable image. A revolver lies abandoned on a dark desk at the lower left edge.

A pulp-noir cartoon backglass in a palette of crimson red, cream ivory, warm gold and deep brown, framed by red theatre-style drapery across the top corners. Six figures crowd a dim interior around a heap of banknotes and stacked gold coins at centre. Left: a huge-jawed man in a wide-brimmed brown hat, red shirt and red tie, grinning hugely, slumped sideways in a plush red armchair. A woman in a short pink dress with dark hair reclines limp across his lap, one arm trailing. Centre: a lean man in a tan work shirt and trousers stands behind the money, one hand raised, lit from below. Above him a small white bulldog-type dog stands on a table beside a figure in a pale top hat. Right: a dark-haired woman in a white sleeveless top sits slumped in profile, while a tall man in a brown suit and fedora leans over her holding a long thin rod or pipe. Bottom centre a pair of hands holds up a cream newspaper headed TEAMPIN NEWS, with a boxed subheading, a black-and-white photo of a fanned hand of playing cards captioned REPORT, and two columns of tiny illegible body print. Bottom left, on a dark desk, lie a revolver and an inkwell. Bottom right carries the title in heavy red outlined capitals with a bird-and-flame flourish.
