Two different card designs are known carrying the name  "R. W. Harradence, Ware". The earliest examples are coloured with a message strip at the bottom. The reverse is divided for inland messages only with examples posted in 1905. The later examples are sepia with the well-known grained wood frames and the stamp box reading "INLAND ½d STAMP FOREIGN 1d", suggesting a date circa 1910.

The same frame was used, on two different views of St James, Stanstead Abbots. One was dated 1909. and reproduced a view which also appears on a card by E. Munnings, of Hertford. I have no publisher information on the other view. (seen on ebay)

There is no evidence here that Robert William Harradence was more than a large store, with postcards being produced by a postcard supplier, with the shop's name on the cards.

Please tell me if you have any further information on R W Harradence's Postcards in Hertfordshire.
