A beautiful vintage Georgian-language edition of “Tiger” (ვეფხვი) by Romanian writer Cezar Petrescu (1892–1961).

Published during the Soviet period, this illustrated children’s book is printed entirely in Georgian script and was translated from the original Romanian. Its colorful hardcover depicts a white tiger and a boy, while the interior contains charming black-and-white illustrations characteristic of Soviet-era book design.

Georgian-language editions from the USSR are considerably less frequently encountered on the international vintage book market than their Russian-language counterparts. This copy is an appealing collectible for admirers of Georgian culture, Soviet publishing and graphic design, vintage children’s literature, and Romanian literature in translation.
