Sericulture, or silkworm breeding, flourished under the Ottoman rule and witnessed its golden age towards the end of the 19th century and early 20th century. Post-Lebanese issued a set of six stamps, in order to protect and flourish this pillar of the economy.
The stamps were issued with denominations ranging from 4 Lebanese piasters to 25 Lebanese piasters. The stamps depict Silkworm with Caterpillar and Pupa in the center. The stamps are inscribed with the name of the country on the top in French and Arabic and “Silk Congress” at the bottom in French and Arabic with the denomination value at the left and right top corners.
