Arab Postal Conference - 50 piastre

This commemorative airmail stamp (Poste Aérienne) marks the Arab Postal Conference held in the Lebanese resort town of Sofar in 1946 (Conference Postale Arabe / Sofar - Liban - 1946). The detailed blue engraving shows an eagle or large bird gliding effortlessly past high-voltage telecommunication and telephone poles, set against rolling clouds and the majestic silhouette of Mount Sannine. This design carries a clear message of regional collaboration, modern infrastructural development, and technological connectivity. Issued by the Lebanese Republic, the stamp celebrates the nation's emergence as a central diplomatic and technological crossroads for communication in the post-WWII Arab world.
