Concordance:
Thematic: The thematic concordance is excellent: the stamp portrays Mount Kilimanjaro within the “Views” definitive series, while the postcard presents a photographic depiction of the same mountain. Both elements align perfectly through the representation of the identical geographical landmark.
Geographic: Both stamp and cancellation originate from Tanganyika, and the Dar es Salaam postmark reinforces the territorial authenticity. The postcard also depicts a location within the same region, ensuring strong geographic concordance.
Temporal: The postmark date (13.02.1958) falls within the valid period of postal use of the 1955 definitive issue, providing proper temporal concordance for a maximum card constructed with a long‑running definitive series.
