Senegalese Woman

 Senegal AOF - 1940 (SN)

Postmark: Dakar, Circular Date Stamp “SUCCURSALE” – dated 20.04.1940

Postmark: New York - Oval Cancelation “REGY. DIV.”  – 27/02/1940

Postcard: Monochrome woodcut illustration of the first printing press imported from England, used by Stephen Daye in 1639 to print The Freeman’s Oath.

Concordance:

- Thematic: both the stamp and the postcard depict the historic printing press associated with the origins of printing in America, creating a strong thematic link.

- Geographic:  the stamp and cancellation are from the United States, matching the subject of the postcard (American printing history), but the postmark location (New York) differs from the press’s location (Cambridge, Mass.).

- Temporal: the postmark date (27.02.1940) is within the validity period of the commemorative stamp issued in 1939, but it does not coincide with the anniversary year (1939) or a significant date related to the event.

 

Maximum card Luftschutz

 

Stamp: Germany, Deutsches Reich, Air-raid protection, Black ochre brown , face value 3 German reichspfennig (Issue: 03.03.1937).

Postmark: Straubing, circular datestamp (CDS) – 09.06.1940

Postcard: Propaganda postcard with the caption “Luftschutz!” (“Air Protection!”), showing a stylized figure holding a spear and a shield decorated with a radiating emblem and runic‑style lettering, rendered in a graphic design typical of German propaganda of the period (edition unknown).

Concordance

– Thematic: The 3‑Pf Air‑raid protection stamp belongs to a series highlighting civil defence and national preparedness. The postcard, with its bold “Luftschutz!” message and imagery of a defensive figure equipped with shield and spear, visually reinforces the same theme of protective mobilisation. Although the designs differ in representation (allegorical vs. emblematic), both elements promote air‑raid awareness and civil protection.

– Geographic: The postmark from Straubing, located in Bavaria, aligns with the German origin of both the stamp and the propaganda postcard, ensuring coherent national context within the Deutsches Reich during this period.

– Temporal: The postmark date 9 June 1940 occurs after the stamp’s issue date of 3 March 1937, well within its official period of postal validity. This ensures correct chronological compatibility between stamp and postal use.

Maximum Card Jean Laborde – 60th Death Anniversary (1940)

Country: Madagascar (French Administration)

Issue: Jean Laborde – 60th Death Anniversary (55c Stamp, 1938 Issue)

Date of Issue: July 6, 1938

Postmark: Circular Date Stamp (CDS) – TANARARIVE R. GALLIENI – 10 JUN 40 The cancellation features a non‑standard spelling (“Tanararive”) instead of the official “Tananarive,” a notable postal variety but still attributable to the capital city of Madagascar.

Postcard: Monochrome printed portrait of Jean Laborde, executed in a line‑engraved illustrative style with accompanying caption and reference to his year of death (1878). (Edition unknown)

Justification of Maximum Concordance :

This maximum card maintains full thematic concordance: both the stamp and the postcard portray Jean Laborde, the influential French industrialist and political envoy whose work significantly shaped Madagascar during the mid‑19th century.

The geographic concordance remains valid despite the orthographic anomaly in the cancellation. Although the postmark reads “TANARARIVE”, this is clearly a postal error or variant referring to Tananarive (modern Antananarivo), the historic administrative capital of Madagascar and a location directly connected to the figure honored in the stamp issue. Postal marking varieties of this type are documented in colonial issues and do not compromise geographic alignment.

The temporal concordance is fully satisfied: the cancellation dated 10 June 1940 falls well within the postal validity period of the 1938 commemorative issue, ensuring legitimate chronological alignment for maximaphily purposes.

Vultos da História e da Cultura: Emile Gentil (1866 - 1914)

 Vultos da História e da Cultura: Emile Gentil (1866 - 1914):   Émile Gentil nasceu em Volmunster (França) a 4 de abril de 1866 e destacou-se como explorador e administrador colonial. 

Country: French Equatorial Africa

Issue: Definitives (1937–1942) – Émile Gentil (65c Stamp)

Date of Issue: May 3, 1937

Postmark: Circular Date Stamp (CDS) – Fort-Lamy (Tchad) – 17 FEV 1940

Postcard: Monochrome printed portrait of Émile Gentil, rendered in a line‑drawn illustrative style showing the explorer in profile, with emphasis on uniform and shading details. (Edition unknown)

Justification of Maximum Concordance:

This maximum card presents strong thematic, geographic, and temporal concordance. The 65c definitive stamp of 1937 depicts Émile Gentil, one of the most significant explorers and colonial administrators in French Equatorial Africa. The postcard equally portrays Émile Gentil, establishing direct thematic alignment between the philatelic and iconographic elements.

The Fort‑Lamy cancellation dated 17 February 1940 provides precise geographic relevance, as this location was a central administrative hub in French Equatorial Africa and directly connected to Gentil’s activities in the region. The 1940 cancellation date also falls well within the valid postal period of the 1937–1942 definitive series, ensuring full temporal concordance.

📬 Carimbo Comemorativo de 23/06/1940 a 02/12/1940 – Exposição do Mundo Português

A filatelia portuguesa é rica em peças que contam a história do país, e uma das mais emblemáticas é o carimbo comemorativo datado de 27 de outubro de 1940, emitido pelos CTT durante a Exposição do Mundo Português, realizada em Lisboa.

🗓️ Um Evento Histórico

Organizada pelo Estado Novo, a exposição celebrou dois grandes marcos nacionais:

800 anos da Fundação de Portugal (1140)

300 anos da Restauração da Independência (1640)

O evento decorreu entre junho e dezembro de 1940, na zona de Belém, e teve como objetivo exaltar a identidade nacional, a história e o império ultramarino português.

✉️ A Emissão Filatélica Comemorativa

Para assinalar a ocasião, os CTT colocaram em circulação, a 4 de junho de 1940, uma série especial de selos comemorativos, com valores e temas distintos:

• 10 centavos – Exposição do Mundo Português
• 15 centavos – D. João IV
• 25 centavos – Padrão dos Descobrimentos
• 35 centavos – D. João IV
• 40 centavos – D. Afonso Henriques
• 80 centavos – Exposição do Mundo Português
• 1 escudo – Padrão dos Descobrimentos
• 1$75 centavos – D. Afonso Henriques

Estes selos destacam figuras centrais da história nacional e símbolos da expansão marítima, como o Padrão dos Descobrimentos, que foi erguido pela primeira vez em 1940, de forma efémera e integrado na Exposição do Mundo Português.

🖋️ O Carimbo de 27 de Outubro

O carimbo comemorativo aqui apresentado datado de 27-10-1940 foi utilizado durante a exposição e é hoje uma peça de grande valor para colecionadores. Ele marca uma das datas centrais do evento e é frequentemente encontrado em sobrescritos de primeiro dia ou em peças filatélicas montadas para a ocasião.

Este carimbo representa o uso da filatelia como instrumento de celebração nacional e de comunicação cultural, refletindo o espírito da época.
