Hartmann's were the driving force behind the divided back postcard which allowed the whole of one face to be used for the image. They issued their first cards in 1902.
Early cards generally have a white band below the picture, at the left margin is a number of the form xxx.nn where xxxx is assumed to be the series number and nn the sequence number. Later cards placed the number running vertically on the left hand side of the image. Later series now have the number on the correspondence side
The numbers appear to run across different formats - e.g. I have 2413/10 in @Real Glossy Series G' with under neath the Hartman Badge and Post Card "Manx Chathyr Kaart" - there would also appear to be multiple re-use of numbers for different images which makes producing an index somewhat difficult.
[v] = vertical format. Text in []'s are my interpolations to give the earliest possible date etc.
