The reverse of the second medal is by Lewis F. Day (1845-1910), a versatile designer of the Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts and Aesthetic Movements. Lewis worked for Liberty amongst many other companies and with C. F. A. Voysey and Walter Crane. In the 1870s he helped to decorate Alfred Waterhouse's Eaton Hall and also designed the stand for Howell, James & Co. at the 1878 Paris Exhibition. His work on this medal seems to have become forgotten.
The Jersey Poultry & Ornithological Society was formed in February 1888 out of separation of Jersey Poultry and Dog Club. Certainly by 1904 the medal's obverse had been corrected.
