Justification of Maximum Concordance:
This maximum card presents strong thematic, geographic, and temporal concordance. The 65c definitive stamp of 1937 depicts Émile Gentil, one of the most significant explorers and colonial administrators in French Equatorial Africa. The postcard equally portrays Émile Gentil, establishing direct thematic alignment between the philatelic and iconographic elements.
The Fort‑Lamy cancellation dated 17 February 1940 provides precise geographic relevance, as this location was a central administrative hub in French Equatorial Africa and directly connected to Gentil’s activities in the region. The 1940 cancellation date also falls well within the valid postal period of the 1937–1942 definitive series, ensuring full temporal concordance.
