The crab holds two tickets, neither fully paid.
A natural history plate printed on aged cream stock, headed "British Coastal and Inland Wildlife, Plate 14," presents six labeled specimens designated A through F with scale bars ranging from 3 cm to 12 cm. A human ear appears embedded in a mossy substrate at position C, scaled at 3 cm and assigned the binomial "Auricularia navalis," while position D shows a common mussel attached to a bicycle wheel spoke. Block-set descriptive text accompanies each specimen in two columns, and a boxed note at the lower margin instructs the reader to report large blooms to the Harbour Authority.
