International Year of the Child, Children's Drawings

Lebanon · 1980 · 100p

This stamp commemorates the International Year of the Child, which was observed in 1979 but often saw stamps issued into 1980. The design features a colorful and imaginative drawing by a child, depicting a stylized house, sun, and tree, capturing a sense of youthful innocence and creativity.

Issued during the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), this stamp's theme of childhood and hope stood in stark contrast to the ongoing conflict, representing a universal aspiration for peace and a better future for the next generation.
