The most cosmopolitan stamps were the definitive issue of Egypt in 1867. Designed by Frederick Hoff of Hirschberg in Silesia, and lithographed by the French printer, Victor Penasson at Alexandria, they were inscribed in Arabic. In 1872, stamps were also inscribed in Italian, because the head of the Egyptian postal service at the time was an Italian, Giacomo Muzzi.
