Silk Congress (Bombyx mori) - 4 Piastre
This stamp commemorates the 1930 Sericulture Congress held in Beirut, highlighting a pivotal era when the silk industry was a cornerstone of the Lebanese economy and national identity. The illustration elegantly depicts the biological lifecycle of the silkworm (Bombyx mori), featuring a larva feeding on a mulberry leaf alongside a cocoon and an adult moth, symbolizing the meticulous natural process that fueled Lebanon’s historic "silk road" to prosperity. Historically, Mount Lebanon was renowned for its vast mulberry plantations and spinning factories, which forged deep economic ties with Europe and shaped the social fabric of the region. By featuring this theme, the stamp celebrates Lebanese craftsmanship and agricultural heritage, framing the silk industry not just as a commercial endeavor, but as a sophisticated institution that bridge traditional rural life with international industrial prominence.
