Maximum Card Pour Sauver la Race

 

Stamp: France, “Pour sauver la race”, semi‑postal issue, blue‑green, face value 90c + 30c surtax (Issue: 20/01/1939).

Postmark: La Capelle / Aisne, circular datestamp (CDS) – 11.11.1939

Postcard: Monochrome illustrated postcard titled “LA FRANCE MATERNELLE”, depicting an artistic composition of a maternal figure holding and protecting a child in her arms, executed in a graphic style typical of the period (publisher unknown). The initials “RR” appear in the lower right corner of the illustration.

 

Concordance: 

- Thematic: The image on the postcard and the design of the semi‑postal stamp share the same central theme: motherhood as a symbol of national continuity and protection. The pairing achieves full thematic alignment, with both elements expressing identical symbolic content—maternal devotion, nurturing, and safeguarding of children.

- Geographic:  The postmark originates from La Capelle, in the French department of Aisne, ensuring that the usage is firmly rooted in the national context of the stamp. Although the postcard represents an allegorical rather than a place‑based subject, the geographic coherence remains acceptable within FIP standards, as both stamp and postmark are of French origin and contemporaneous.

- Temporal: The cancellation date, 11 November 1939, falls well within the legitimate period of circulation of the 20 January 1939 issue. This ensures full compliance with FIP’s temporal criteria for maximum cards.

Issue: Roman Amphitheatre of El Djem (Thysdrus) – Tunisia (1f50)

Date of Issue: 15/01/1931

Postmark: Circular Date Stamp (CDS) – El Djem, Tunisia – 04/05/1939

Postcard: Panoramic view of the ruins of the Roman amphitheatre at El Djem (ancient Thysdrus), with surrounding stone structures in the foreground and the massive oval colosseum dominating the background under a clear blue sky. Caption at the bottom reads: “El Djem (Thysdrus), Tunisie – Théâtre Romain et Panorama.” (Vintage edition, Phototypie Etbts)

Justification of Maximum Concordance:

This maximum card exhibits excellent thematic and geographic concordance. The stamp depicts the Roman amphitheatre of El Djem, and the postcard shows the same historic monument in its real setting. The cancellation from El Djem reinforces geographic relevance. Temporal concordance is strong, as the postmark date falls within a reasonable period after the stamp’s issue.

The cancellation from San Francisco, specifically referencing the Golden Gate International Exposition, matches the theme and location of both the stamp and the postcard. This ensures full concordance across all three elements: stamp, postcard, and postmark.
