HMP CARDS Introduction HMP cards were published between September 1943 and February 1947 (except during the year 1945) by Henri M. Petiet, whose business was situated at 8 Rue de Tournon, 6th Arr. Paris. A total of 747 different cards was produced by the company and these can be classified in eight distinct categories. The years 1944 and 1946 appear to have been the most prolific publishing years for HMP cards. Apart from the straightforward sequential numbering system used for the different categories of the series, during 1944 a separate set of (all??) cards issued up to that date was published, each card having a "B" suffix to the (original) number. The quality of the HMP cards is distinctly inferior to the well-known Fleury cards (produced much earlier and using the collotype process), with the choice of paper and production standards reflecting the difficulties of the war- and immediate post-war years.
