This commemorative stamp (Postes) marks the historic celebration of Emigrants' Month during the summer of 1950 (Mois des Émigrés / Été 1950). The detailed greyish-olive engraving illustrates a grand public building framed by a sweeping semi-circle of diverse international flags representing the global nations of the Lebanese diaspora, with the cedar-adorned flag of Lebanon positioned prominently at the center. This composition carries a powerful message of global kinship, national welcoming, and the enduring bonds connecting expatriate communities to their ancestral homeland. Issued by the Lebanese Republic, the design honors the profound cultural heritage and vital presence of its worldwide diaspora.
