Justification of Maximum Concordance:

The stamp commemorates the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation and includes the U.S. Capitol as a prominent design element, symbolizing the connection between Switzerland and the United States. The postcard illustrates the same landmark—the U.S. Capitol, reinforcing the subject visually. The pictorial First Day of Issue cancellation from Washington, D.C., applied on the official date of issue, guarantees perfect thematic, geographic, and temporal concordance.
