The story
The red dragon of Wales, Y Ddraig Goch, comes from one of Britain's oldest legends. The ninth-century History of the Britons tells how King Vortigern's fortress in Snowdonia kept collapsing until a boy revealed the reason: two dragons, one red and one white, fighting in a pool beneath the hill. The red dragon stood for the Britons and the white for the invading Saxons, and the red, he foretold, would win in the end. It became the official flag of Wales in 1959.
Wales also helped forge the industrial world. From the 1700s the ironworks of Merthyr Tydfil and the steelworks of South Wales made the valleys one of the great metal-producing regions on earth. This linocut-style design pours the two stories together: a giant ladle tips a stream of molten steel, and from the glowing metal the red dragon takes shape.
