EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "St. George and the Dragon, a design for an equestrian statue" created by Thomas Richmond Gale Braddyll in 1805. The artwork, originally housed in Windsor Castle and engraved by James Gillray, depicts King George III as the patron saint of England, embodying chivalry and courage. In this stunning portrayal, St. George is mounted on his noble steed, adorned with a royal horse guards uniform and a magnificent shabrack. With wings symbolizing bravery and determination, he fearlessly confronts the fire-breathing serpent that bears the head of Napoleon Bonaparte. Britannia crouches nearby in defense of her land while holding a shield emblazoned with the Union Jack flag. The scene exudes patriotism as St. George valiantly protects his country from this monstrous threat. The composition also features elements such as the Crown and Garter insignia representing the Order of the Garter, Britain's highest order of knighthood. Additionally, references to King George III's Hanoverian heritage can be seen throughout. Braddyll's masterful engraving skillfully captures every detail of this iconic image with hand-colored precision. This historical piece serves as both an emblematic representation of British identity during Georgian times and a testament to St. George's role as defender against evil forces. Courtesy of New College Oxford's Warden and Scholars collection, this print preserves an important moment in history when art merged with national pride
