Stamp: France, “Pour sauver la race”, semi‑postal issue, blue‑green, face value 90c + 30c surtax (Issue: 20/01/1939).
Postmark: La Capelle / Aisne, circular datestamp (CDS) – 11.11.1939
Postcard: Monochrome illustrated postcard titled “LA FRANCE MATERNELLE”, depicting an artistic composition of a maternal figure holding and protecting a child in her arms, executed in a graphic style typical of the period (publisher unknown). The initials “RR” appear in the lower right corner of the illustration.
Concordance:
- Thematic: The image on the postcard and the design of the semi‑postal stamp share the same central theme: motherhood as a symbol of national continuity and protection. The pairing achieves full thematic alignment, with both elements expressing identical symbolic content—maternal devotion, nurturing, and safeguarding of children.
- Geographic: The postmark originates from La Capelle, in the French department of Aisne, ensuring that the usage is firmly rooted in the national context of the stamp. Although the postcard represents an allegorical rather than a place‑based subject, the geographic coherence remains acceptable within FIP standards, as both stamp and postmark are of French origin and contemporaneous.
- Temporal: The cancellation date, 11 November 1939, falls well within the legitimate period of circulation of the 20 January 1939 issue. This ensures full compliance with FIP’s temporal criteria for maximum cards.
