75th Anniversary of the Universal Postal Union - 5 franc
This commemorative stamp marks the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). It depicts the new post office building (Nouvel Hôtel des Postes) in Meknes, shown in a modern architectural style with a long colonnaded façade. The surrounding cityscape of Meknes extends into the background, illustrating the urban development and modernization of postal services in Morocco during the mid-20th century. The Universal Postal Union (UPU) was founded in 1874 to establish a unified international postal system and facilitate the exchange of mail between nations. In 1949, Morocco, then under the French Protectorate, participated in the worldwide celebration of the UPU's 75th anniversary through a series of commemorative stamps featuring postal themes and modern postal infrastructure. The stamp highlights the new post office of Meknes, reflecting the expansion and modernization of communication networks during the first half of the 20th century. As one of Morocco's four imperial cities, Meknes was an important administrative and commercial center, and the construction of modern postal facilities symbolized progress in public services and international communications.
