A square backglass in a varnished wooden frame showing a western scene under a bright blue sky with white outlined clouds. The title Round Up runs across the top left in large cream and gold script outlined like rope.

On the right a blonde cowgirl in a red hat and fringed outfit rides a rearing white horse, one arm raised with a pistol. At the left a group of riders in wide hats sit on brown and white horses, and a woman in a short skirt and sun hat bends forward in the foreground. Green hills and a yellow plain lie behind. Eleven numbered discs in rope-like rings curve round the picture: 11 and 10 at the top, 9 down to 5 on the right edge, 1 to 4 along the bottom. A small printed card sits in the lower left corner.
