The 75th Anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (U.P.U.) was commemorated in 1949, marking three-quarters of a century since the organization's founding by the Treaty of Bern in 1874. To celebrate, dozens of member countries around the world issued a massive global omnibus set of specialized postage stamps.
