"St George and the Dragon 2" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. The work is a sequel to Gillray's earlier print "St George and the Dragon," and it continues to employ the allegory of Saint George slaying the dragon to comment on contemporary political events. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and intricate etchings, often used historical and mythical themes to critique the politics and society of his time.

In "St George and the Dragon 2," Gillray typically would have depicted a political figure of the era as St George, engaging in combat with a dragon that symbolizes a particular political issue or adversary. The print would have been rich with metaphor and allusion, inviting the viewer to decipher the layered meanings behind the characters and their interactions. As with many of Gillray's works, the piece would have been published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a close professional relationship, and would have been circulated among the politically informed public of the time.

The exact details of the print, such as the specific political figures caricatured or the events alluded to, would require further research into the historical context of the period and Gillray's oeuvre. As an artist, Gillray's influence extended beyond his lifetime, with his works contributing to the development of political cartooning. His ability to blend humor with incisive political commentary has made his prints valuable documents of the political climate of late 18th and early 19th century Britain.
