"St. George and the Dragon 3" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and political commentary, often employed allegory and mythological references in his work to critique and lampoon figures of authority and the social issues of his time. This particular print is part of a series that reinterprets the legend of Saint George and the Dragon, a classic tale of heroism, to offer a pointed commentary on contemporary events or personalities.

In "St. George and the Dragon 3," Gillray adapts the narrative of the valiant knight slaying a fearsome dragon to satirize a political situation or public figure, possibly casting them in the roles of the dragon or the saint. The use of the number '3' in the title suggests that this work is the third in a sequence of related prints, each building upon the theme with different subjects or contexts.

Gillray's work is characterized by its intricate detail, vivid imagery, and the complexity of its visual metaphors. His prints were widely circulated and popular among the British public, often displayed in shop windows and collected by enthusiasts. "St. George and the Dragon 3" would have been no exception, contributing to the public discourse through its visual wit and engaging the viewer in deciphering its layered meanings.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "St. George and the Dragon 3" likely served not only as a piece of political commentary but also as a work of art that showcases the artist's skill in etching and his keen observational abilities. The print remains a testament to Gillray's enduring legacy as a master of British caricature and a pivotal figure in the development of satirical art.
