Stamp: Spain (Spanish Colony of Ifni) – Territorio de Ifni overprint on Spanish definitive portrait – violet‑brown, featuring a uniformed bust with graphic background, representative of the long series of “Territorio de Ifni” overprints issued in 1948.
Postmark: Sidi Ifni – circular cancellation 20/05/1953, characteristic of the colonial postal markings used in Ifni during the 1950s.
Postcard: Sepia‑toned monochrome postcard showing the bust of an individual in military uniform. (Edition unknown.)
Concordance:
– Thematic: The stamp displays an official portrait of a uniformed figure, while the postcard depicts the same type of formal representation, producing clear thematic alignment between official iconography and period photography. The 1948 “Territorio de Ifni” overprints reused portrait‑type Spanish definitives, consistent with the subject represented.
– Geographic: The Sidi Ifni cancellation directly matches the territory named on the stamp (Territorio de Ifni), ensuring complete geographic coherence between issue, cancellation, and colonial context.
– Temporal: The 1953 postal cancellation aligns with the period of postal use of the 1948 overprinted series, providing sound temporal coherence within maximaphily standards, as these stamps remained in circulation in Ifni during the early 1950s.
