| Reverse description | Central device depicting the Liver Bird, the heraldic symbol of Liverpool, shown in profile facing left and perched upon a twisted rope or cable, with wings raised and a sprig of foliage held in its beak. The bird is rendered in bold relief with detailed feathering. The surrounding legend LIVERPOOL arcs across the upper field and CHEAP BOOK DEPOT curves along the lower portion, all within a beaded border. The design alludes to John Howell's commercial connection to Liverpool book trade suppliers. |
