Postcard Index

Valentine & Sons Ltd, Dundee

This firm was one of the most prominent and prolific publishers of postcards from early court-sized postcards in about 1895 through to the 1960s. Its very varied output includes many Hertfordshire view cards.

Photographs were numbered, and thanks to St Andrews University it is possible to link the "JV" number to the date when the picture was taken.

Unfortunately many cards were published without the number being shown and there are other Dating Problems
