The Title POST CARD is not
obligatory for single cards of private manufacture. Having succeeded in introducing cards with a divided back and it is clear that Hartmann attempted to free up more space by dropping the word "POST CARD". The idea did not catch on. Cards with this back must be from 1907 or later - and the firm disappeared about 1909. It would seem that at least some of the remaining stock was sold by John Thridgould & Co. |
