Country: Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika (British East Africa)
Issue: King George VI - Lake Naivasha (Inscription: “KENYA UGANDA TANGANYIKA”)
Date of Issue: 11/04/1938
Postmark: Circular datestamp (CDS) – Dar-es-Salaam / Kenya Uganda and Tanganyika, time “12 PM” visible, year partially legible but consistent with 1938.
Postcard: Monochrome photographic illustration showing a coastal view of Dar-es-Salaam. The foreground features tall palm trees framing the scene, while traditional dhows sail on calm waters under a bright sky with scattered clouds. The horizon glows softly, suggesting late afternoon, emphasizing the tropical setting and maritime life.
Justification of Maximum Concordance:
The stamp depicts Lake Naivasha, highlighting East Africa’s natural beauty and aquatic environment, while the postcard shows dhows along the Indian Ocean coast at Dar-es-Salaam, reinforcing the theme of water and navigation within the same geographic region. The postmark from Dar-es-Salaam provides territorial authenticity, creating strong thematic and locational concordance between the stamp, the image, and the cancellation. This piece effectively represents East Africa’s hydrographic identity and colonial-era connectivity.
