Emigrants Month - 35 piastre

This commemorative airmail stamp (Poste Aérienne) marks the summer 1950 celebration of Emigrants' Month (Mois des Émigrés / Été 1950). The detailed sepia-brown engraving illustrates the traditional arched arcades of the historic Beiteddine Palace complex, paired on the right with a prominent oval portrait medallion of President Bechara el-Khoury in formal attire. This solemn composition carries a powerful message of official state hospitality, administrative leadership, and historical prestige, positioning the executive office at the forefront of welcoming the global Lebanese diaspora back to their ancestral homeland. Issued by the Lebanese Republic (LIBAN), the stamp blends national statehood with classical architectural heritage to honor expatriate ties.
