Justification of Maximum Concordance:
This maximum card demonstrates strong thematic and geographic concordance. The stamp commemorates the 1939 New York World’s Fair and depicts the Trylon and Perisphere, which are also the central subjects of the postcard illustration. The cancellation from New York reinforces geographic alignment, and although dated 1943 — four years after the issue — it remains within the valid postal period for the stamp, ensuring acceptable temporal concordance for a historical maximum card.
