So There!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical lithograph by Poy (Percy Hutton Fearon) that captures the political climate of early 20th century England. The image depicts St. George, represented as David Lloyd George, building a dragon that breathes Bolshevist fire and smoke. This illustration from "100 Poy Cartoons" serves as a scathing satire on the fear of the policies of the Labour Party during that time.
The fantastical element of St. George constructing his own dragon adds a layer of irony to the piece, highlighting the exaggerated fears and anxieties surrounding communism and socialist ideologies in British society at that time. The imagery of a mythical creature breathing political propaganda further emphasizes the artist's critique of these beliefs.
Through clever visual storytelling, Poy manages to convey complex political commentary in a humorous and engaging manner. The detailed rendering of both St. George and the dragon showcases Poy's skill as an illustrator, while also inviting viewers to reflect on the power dynamics at play within their own socio-political context.
Overall, "So There!" stands as a testament to art's ability to provoke thought and spark conversations about pressing issues within society, even decades after its creation.
