Lebanon Airmail, Cedar of Lebanon

Lebanon · 1964 · 15p

This definitive airmail stamp features a stylized depiction of the iconic Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), a powerful national symbol. The tree is rendered in a modern, graphic style against a solid background, with the denomination and country name in both Arabic and French.

Issued in the mid-1960s, this stamp represents a period of relative prosperity and modernization in Lebanon, often referred to as its 'golden age' before the onset of civil war in the following decade.
