UNESCO Congress at Beyrout - 25 piastre
This commemorative stamp (Postes) marks the 3rd General Conference of UNESCO held in Beirut in 1948 (U.N.E.S.C.O. 1948). The detailed reddish-brown engraving illustrates the classical Greek myth of the Phoenician princess Europa being carried across the sea by Zeus in the guise of a white bull (EUROPE). This symbolic imagery carries a profound message of cultural convergence, classical heritage, and global diplomacy, proudly tracing the legendary Levantine roots of Europe's name back to the shores of ancient Phoenicia. Issued by the Lebanese Republic (Republique Libanaise), the stamp celebrates the young nation's status as a central diplomatic host and a timeless bridge between Eastern and Western civilizations.
