Ireland Maximum Card
Ireland · 1900 ·
A maximum card is a philatelic item consisting of a postcard with a postage stamp placed on the picture side of the card, where the stamp and card image are concordant. The stamp is tied to the card with a postmark, usually of the first day of issue, from a place relevant to the stamp's subject.
Maximum cards are a specialized area of philately, combining stamp collecting with deltiology (postcard collecting). They offer a visually rich way to explore the themes and art of postage stamps.
