Postcard: Monochrome graphite portrait illustration of Henry Morton Stanley, executed with detailed shading and a formal presentation style.

Justification of Maximum Concordance:
This maximum card demonstrates thematic and geographic concordance. The 5c stamp belongs to the 1928 issue honoring Henry Morton Stanley, a key historical figure associated with the exploration and colonial history of the Congo. The postcard reflects the same colonial context through its formal portrait style.
