Hertfordshire Genealogy: Catalogue of F S Cards

A very distinctive set of cards, signed with the pseudonym "Dauber" first published in the autumn of 1909 by Watkins & Krake with the very distinctive "1d postage applies" wording on the back of all but the earliest cards in the series. There is no evidence of any later reprints.
The initial cards in this series were all numbered No 1 but later cards had a more sophisticated header and were individually numbered				Signed Dauber All cards have, in the left margin: The Satire Series No [xx] Copyright Printed in England Published at 51 and 51 Beech Street, London

The "F S" project is part of the "Genealogy in Hertfordshire" web site which was set up in 2001 to encourage research in family and local history. If you can fill in any of the gaps (missing postcard images, series numbers, or earliest postal dates) this will help other researchers who visit this site.
These five cards came together in an ebay lot and all have blank backs. They are not obviously modern reproductions so may be printer proofs. One is known to be in the Satire Series and the others are assumed to be.			Don't Worry! I have Millions at the back of me!
