A friend in China sent me a postcard depicting the Australian pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010, which was also a subject featured in a newly issued Australian stamp commemorating the event. This postcard arrived very timely and I thought I could realize it as a maxicard. The question is, "Where is the place of concordance to postmark this card?". It couldn't be Shanghai definitely; so I "sadly" dropped the idea.....
"When the postage stamp commemorates an event or shows a landscape or a monument of another country, the realization of maximum cards is impossible as there is a total lack of concordance of place." FIP
But I am still wondering since FIP also mentions:
"the concordance of place requires a connection between the name of the place or the locality written on the postmark and the subject of the stamp.", would it be possible to :
i) postmark it at Melbourne taking the connection to be this pavilion was designed in Melbourne (by an architectural firm, Wood Marsh)?
ii) postmark it at Canberra taking the connection to be this pavilion represents Australia in this World Expo?
Is it qualified to be a maxicard in these two cases? What do you think?
