Concordance
– Thematic: The stamp portrays General Gallieni, and the postcard also represents the same historical figure, shown in military uniform with visible decorations. This establishes complete thematic concordance, since both media depict the same person in an official military context.
– Geographic: The cancellation from Tananarive (Antananarivo), Madagascar is geographically appropriate: Gallieni served as Governor of Madagascar; his name and legacy are directly tied to the island; and the French colonial postal administration issued the stamp in Madagascar. Thus, the stamp, postcard, and postmark are in full geographic alignment.
– Temporal: The cancellation date 24 April 1949 falls well within the period of postal validity of the 3‑franc Gallieni stamp issued 10/02/1946. The use of the stamp on that date is therefore chronologically correct and compliant with maximaphily rules.
