Issue: Historical Portraits – Arch of the Viceroys (Arco dos Vice-Reis), Goa

Date of Issue: 1946

Postcard: Monochrome photographic illustration of the Arch of the Viceroys, an iconic historical gateway in Goa, surrounded by palm trees, captioned with the image of the monument.

Justification of Maximum Concordance:

This maximum card features the Arch of the Viceroys in Goa, a significant historical and architectural landmark built to commemorate the arrival of viceroys during the colonial period. The stamp, issued in 1946, depicts the same monument, reinforcing thematic unity between the philatelic and pictorial elements. The postmark is a CDS from Goa, applied on 14 January 1950, which corresponds to the location of the depicted building and the subject of the stamp. Together, the stamp, the postcard image, and the cancellation achieve maximum concordance by uniting subject, location, and historical context in a single philatelic piece.
