Maximum Card King George I

 

Stamp: Greece, Definitive – Portrait of King George I – 30 lepta, black (Issue: 1957-11-15).

Postmark: Athinai (Athens), Circular Date Stamp – 07.08.1961

Postcard: Monochrome photographic portrait of King George I in formal military dress, displaying richly detailed decorations and uniform insignia; printed caption “S. M. Georges Ier” beneath the image (Edition not identified).

Concordance:

– Thematic: The stamp features the same royal figure portrayed on the postcard, achieving full thematic alignment through the matching subject (King George I).

– Geographic: The cancellation from Athens corresponds directly with the historical context of the Greek monarchy and the subject depicted, reinforcing geographic relevance.

– Temporal: Although the stamp originates from an earlier definitive issue, the 1961 postmark date remains within the period in which earlier Greek definitive stamps were still commonly found in postal circulation, providing acceptable temporal coherence for maximaphilic purposes.
