EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph print titled "St Dragon and the George or, Has it Come to This?" captures a whimsical scene filled with political allegory and satirical humor. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville in the 19th century, this artwork was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on October 12,1867. In this image, we witness a fantastical battle between St. George representing Great Britain and a mischievous dragon symbolizing Irish republicanism. Mounted on horseback with lances at the ready, both figures confront each other in an epic clash of ideologies. The cartoon-like depiction adds an element of levity to the serious subject matter. With devilish grins and exaggerated features, these caricatures embody the tensions between British rule and Irish nationalism during that era. This satirical drawing not only mocks Fenianism but also pokes fun at German influence within Europe. It cleverly intertwines various elements such as politics, nationalism, and sport into one chaotic yet entertaining composition. As we delve into this intricate piece of art history, we are reminded of how visual satire can serve as a powerful tool for commentary on societal issues. Through its scathing wit and clever symbolism, "St Dragon and the George or Has it Come to This?" continues to captivate viewers even today.
