Stamp: Spain – Definitive issue from the Nationalist Zone "Junta de Defensa Nacional" – 15 Céntimos, green-grey, featuring the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza (Issued: December 1936).
Postmark: Zaragoza – Period circular postmark with the inscription "ZARAGOZA - 28 MAY 40". The use of this postmark in Zaragoza is highly relevant as it marks the exact location of the monument depicted on both the stamp and the postcard.
Postcard: Sepia-toned illustrated postcard featuring a panoramic view titled "ZARAGOZA. Pilar y río Ebro". The image shows the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar as seen from the banks of the Ebro River, a classic historical perspective of the city. (Edition M. Arribas)
Concordance
Thematic: Absolute thematic unity is achieved as the stamp, the postcard, and the postmark all specifically center on the city of Zaragoza and its most iconic landmark, the Basilica del Pilar.
Geographic: Maximum geographic concordance is established by the use of a postmark from Zaragoza, the city where the Basilica is located, directly linking the postal element to the physical site.
Temporal: Perfect temporal concordance is verified, as the postmark date (May 28, 1940) falls within the stamp's long period of validity following its initial issue during the Spanish Civil War in 1936.
