EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching, titled "St. George and the Dragon" is a remarkable piece of political satire published by Hannah Humphrey in 1782. Created by the talented James Gillray, this artwork showcases Admiral Rodney slaying a menacing winged dragon, symbolizing the French defeat in the West Indies. In this satirical portrayal, Charles James Fox can be seen offering Admiral Rodney a lordship as a token of gratitude for his victory. The image brilliantly captures Rodney brandishing his sword with heroic determination while facing off against the fire-breathing monster. As England's patron saint and protector, St. George emerges victorious over this formidable beast. Gillray's caricature style adds an element of humor to the scene as we witness the defeated dragon vomiting frogs – an unexpected twist that further emphasizes France's humiliation at sea. This Georgian-era engraving not only celebrates British triumph but also serves as biting commentary on political affairs during that time. The attention to detail and masterful execution make this print a true work of art. Its historical significance lies in its ability to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling, leaving viewers both entertained and enlightened about contemporary politics. Courtesy of New College, Oxford, this print offers us a glimpse into Gillray's genius and reminds us of how art can serve as a powerful medium for social commentary throughout history.
