F. Hartmann's Real Glossy Panel Series No 3955/10

The Title POST CARD is not obligatory for single cards of private manufacture.
(Postal Regulations 1907)

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.
