Postcard: Color illustration of the downtown Manhattan skyline as seen from Staten Island Ferry, featuring prominent skyscrapers and waterfront structures. In the foreground, a ferry boat navigates near the piers, while the background showcases iconic Art Deco towers and office buildings, emphasizing New York City’s architectural grandeur of the mid-20th century. Caption at the top reads: “DOWNTOWN SKYLINE FROM STATEN ISLAND FERRY – NEW YORK CITY.” (Edition Colourpicture)
Justification of Maximum Concordance:
Excellent thematic and geographic concordance. The stamp depicts the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline, symbolizing the city’s role as a gateway to America, while the postcard illustrates the same urban theme with a detailed view of Manhattan’s skyline from the harbor. The cancellation from New York City’s General Post Office nine years after the issue — it remains within the valid postal period for the stamp, ensuring acceptable temporal concordance for a historical maximum card.
