Its subject headings name Saint George, England's patron saint, and a dragon, the foe he is traditionally shown defeating. The poster announces an imperial patriotic meeting of the Central Committee for National Patriotic Organisations at the Guildhall in the City of London on Wednesday, May 19, 1915. The committee coordinated patriotic societies during the war's first year, when recruiting and public morale were pressing concerns. Its use of the St. George legend reflects a wider wartime habit of drawing on national myth to rally support. The color lithograph was printed by the Press Printers Ltd. on Long Acre in London.
