Concordance:

– Thematic: The stamp presents an artistic representation connected to Melbourne’s 1956 Olympic context, while the postcard shows a real cityscape of Melbourne. The shared focus on Melbourne’s urban environment creates strong thematic coherence.

– Geographic: Full geographic concordance is achieved: the stamp is Australian, the postmark is from Melbourne, and the postcard depicts a scene located in Melbourne.

– Temporal: The 1958 cancellation date falls within a fully acceptable period after the 1956 commemorative issue, matching the timeframe in which Olympic stamps from this issue remained in normal postal circulation. This provides solid temporal coherence for maximaphilic purposes.
