Chicago World’s Fair (1933)



Issue: Century of Progress Exposition – Chicago World’s Fair (1¢)

Date of Issue: May 25, 1933

Postmark: Triplex Cancel (with Shoe-Print Killer 2)  – Chicago, Illinois – Jul 03 1933

Postcard: Artistic illustration of the Federal Building at the Chicago World’s Fair, featuring three fluted towers surrounding the central dome, illuminated by beams of light against a pastel-colored sky. (Edition C.T. Art-Colortone)

Justification of Maximum Concordance: This maximum card demonstrates strong thematic and geographic concordance. The stamp commemorates the Chicago World’s Fair, and the postcard depicts the Federal Building, one of the fair’s iconic structures. The cancellation from Chicago reinforces geographic relevance. Temporal concordance is excellent, as the postmark date is within the fair period and close to the stamp’s issue date.
