Justification of Maximum Concordance:

This maximum card demonstrates full thematic, geographic, and temporal concordance. The 5c stamp, issued on October 9, 1941, commemorates the centenary of General Juan Lavalle’s death and reproduces his official portrait. The postcard likewise presents a monochrome printed portrait of General Lavalle in military uniform, establishing direct and explicit thematic alignment. The red First Day of Issue cancellation from Buenos Aires, dated 09.10.1941, corresponds precisely to the stamp’s release date, thus ensuring perfect temporal concordance. The geographic concordance is also fully satisfied, as Buenos Aires holds direct historical relevance to Argentina’s national postal administration and to the figure commemorated.

Yvert & Tellier: AR 417 (The difference between the date on the commemorative cancellation and the date listed on Colnect relates to the official launch versus the widespread availability of the stamp. In essence, October 9th was the official release date for collectors and special events, while December 5th was the date of general availability across the entire postal network.)
