Saint George and the dragon, anamorphic engraving (1821)
A tall, very narrow engraved print in dark tonal lines, showing a stretched vertical composition of curling forms, a lance-like diagonal and shadowed masses. Lines of printed text run along the lower edge beneath the image. The picture is an anamorphic distortion that resolves only when viewed from an angle.
