Concordance
– Thematic: The theme of the stamp—the Cathedral of Mainz —matches exactly the subject of the postcard, which presents the same building from a photographic perspective. This ensures full thematic concordance between philatelic and pictorial elements.
– Geographic: The circular postmark from Mainz corresponds directly to the location depicted on both the stamp and the postcard, providing perfect geographic concordance and fully meeting maximaphily criteria.
– Temporal: The cancellation date (22/2/1949) falls within the postal validity period of the 1947 issue of the Rhineland‑Palatinate postal administration. The use of the stamp is therefore chronologically appropriate, ensuring temporal compliance.
