Concordance
Thematic: Absolute thematic unity is achieved as the stamp, the postcard, and the commemorative postmark all specifically honor Monsignor Affre and his role in the 1848 Revolution. The postmark's slogan acts as a third reinforcing element to the cleric's portrait.
Geographic: Maximum geographic concordance is established by the use of a commemorative cancellation from Saint-Rome-de-Tarn, the subject's birthplace, directly linking the postal element to his historical origins.
Temporal: Perfect temporal concordance is verified, as the postmark date (July 18, 1948) falls within the stamp's period of validity and coincides with the official centenary commemorations of the Archbishop's death in June 1848.
