Lebanon – Scott # C252, hinged

Description

This dynamic Lebanon airmail issue (Scott #C252), issued in 1956, showcases the Chamioun Electric Power Station (“Central Electrique Chamoun”)—a proud symbol of Lebanon’s mid-century push toward modernization and national infrastructure development. The design features transmission towers, power lines, and a detailed inset of a humming electrical generator, rendered in bold industrial style with crisp brown-violet engraving.

This example is unused hinged, with strong color, excellent clarity, and the classic Lebanese airmail typography in both Arabic and French. A perfect addition for collectors of industrial history, energy and technology themes, Middle Eastern airmail issues, or anyone who enjoys stamps that capture a nation’s optimism and engineering ambitions.

It’s a small but mighty celebration of electricity itself—perfect for giving your album a little extra spark.
