"The True Legend of St. Dunstan and the Devil" is a notable work by the British artist George Cruikshank, created in the 19th century. This illustration is part of a series that visually narrates the story of St. Dunstan, an English monk and hermit who became the Archbishop of Canterbury in the 10th century, and his legendary encounter with the Devil. Cruikshank, renowned for his satirical and social caricatures, as well as book illustrations, brings a unique and humorous perspective to the medieval tale.

In the illustration, St. Dunstan is depicted using a pair of tongs to pinch the Devil's nose, an iconic scene from the legend. This act is said to have occurred after the Devil attempted to tempt St. Dunstan. The artwork is characteristic of Cruikshank's detailed and expressive style, capturing both the intensity of the moment and the comedic undertones of the Devil's defeat. The illustration not only serves as a visual representation of the story but also reflects the religious and cultural sentiments of the time, as well as Cruikshank's own artistic commentary.

George Cruikshank's work was influential in the development of the illustration as an art form, and "The True Legend of St. Dunstan and the Devil" stands as a testament to his skill in storytelling through imagery. The piece is an important example of 19th-century British illustration and contributes to the understanding of the era's visual culture and the interplay between art, religion, and folklore.
