Lebanon 1946 Airmail Overprint
Lebanon · 1946 · 25p
This stamp features a red overprint on a previous issue. The overprint includes the text 'Poste Aérienne' and a new denomination of 25 piastres, repurposing the original stamp for airmail service. The underlying design, though obscured, was part of a definitive series.
Issued in the early years of Lebanese independence, this overprint reflects the post-war need to adapt existing stamp stocks for new postal rates and services, particularly the growing demand for airmail.
