"St. George and the Dragon" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray. Published in 1796, this work exemplifies Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to comment on the political and social issues of his time through the medium of caricature. Known for his incisive and often biting humor, Gillray's works were highly influential in shaping public opinion during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The print "St. George and the Dragon" draws on the traditional legend of St. George, the patron saint of England, who is famed for slaying a dragon to save a princess. However, in Gillray's rendition, the characters and symbols are reinterpreted to reflect contemporary political figures and events. This piece is a prime example of how Gillray used allegory and satire to critique the actions and policies of those in power.

In this particular print, the figure of St. George is often identified with a prominent political leader of the time, while the dragon represents a significant threat or adversary. Through this allegorical framework, Gillray was able to comment on the political dynamics and conflicts of his era, making his work not only a piece of art but also a historical document that provides insight into the public discourse of the period.

Gillray's "St. George and the Dragon" is celebrated for its detailed and expressive line work, as well as its clever use of symbolism. The print is part of a larger body of work that has cemented Gillray's reputation as one of the most important and influential caricaturists in British history. His ability to blend artistry with pointed social commentary continues to be studied and appreciated by historians, art critics, and enthusiasts alike.
