St. George and the Dragon
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a timeless mythological tale of good triumphing over evil, as depicted in this engraving from the "Cassells Illustrated Family Paper," published in London between December 31, 1853, and December 30, 1854. The image portrays St. George, a Christian saint known for his bravery and devotion, mounted on a horse and armed with a sword. He rides towards a fearsome dragon, its monstrous form coiled around a defenseless princess. With a determined gaze and a powerful swing of his blade, St. George plunges his sword into the heart of the beast, freeing the princess and vanquishing the terror that had gripped the land. The legend of St. George and the Dragon is rooted in Christian mythology and has been told for centuries. It embodies the concept of good versus evil and the idea that a single hero, armed with courage and faith, can make a difference in the world. The image captures the intensity of the moment, with the rider and the dragon locked in a fierce battle, their forms starkly contrasted against the blank background. The horses, too, display their own sense of urgency, their ears pricked and eyes wide with fear and anticipation. The print, though unsigned, is a testament to the enduring power of myth and legend, and the continuing appeal of the story of St. George and the Dragon.
