Lebanon 1949 75th Anniversary of the UPU Airmail

Lebanon · 1949 · 100p

This airmail stamp commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). The design features a globe at the center, symbolizing the UPU's international reach, with an airplane flying overhead to represent modern airmail services. The denomination is prominently displayed, and the stamp is inscribed with the anniversary dates '1874-1949'.

Issued in 1949, this stamp was part of a worldwide omnibus series celebrating the UPU's establishment, which standardized international postal regulations and facilitated global mail exchange. Lebanon, as a member nation, participated in this significant philatelic event.
