ALT Heading: Peterloo in Rock, with a logo showing a heart pierced by a sabre, encircled by the words "Reformers of Peterloo". Polyp's drawing shows the Blanketeers, a group of protesters carrying blankets for their journey, who tried to march to London to present their grievances to the government. They are seen from behind, walking up the road, with blankets and bags tied on their backs, and one of them wearing a red Liberty cap; but soldiers on horseback, with sabres drawn, are riding towards them.
