Postcard: Monochrome printed illustration showing the formal bust‑length portrait traditionally associated with Gaspard Monge, accompanied by typographic captions identifying his name, life dates (1746–1818), and profession as mathematician.

Concordance:
Thematic: The thematic concordance is excellent: the stamp honours Gaspard Monge through a commemorative portrait, and the postcard presents a printed portrait of the same historical figure. Both elements align perfectly in their focus on the mathematician.
Geographic: Both stamp and cancellation originate from France, and the Beaune first‑day cancel reinforces the connection to Monge’s birthplace, ensuring strong geographic authenticity.
Temporal: The postmark date (09.07.1953) corresponds exactly to the first day of issue of the commemorative stamp, providing ideal temporal concordance for a maximum card created in accordance with first‑day postal usage.
