Hertfordshire Post Card History Early Tring Post Cards |
|
The earliest post cards of Tring I have so far examined all have undivided backs, carrying the standard message "POST CARD: The Address only to be written on this side" and a half-penny stamp box. All have the same picture layout and were probably all produced by the same unrecorded photographer/publisher before 1903.
However one of the cards was later published by Samuel Glendening Payne and it is likely that he was the photographer and post card publisher responsible for most, if not all, of these cards.

The picture is identical to one published a few years later by Samuel Glendening Payne & Sons, Aylesbury, who published a large number of view cards of Tring (and other places near Aylesbury) at least as early as 1904.
