1819年,英国约2%的人口拥有投票权,曼彻斯特没有自己的议员(MP). 自从1815年拿破仑战争结束以来,工资已经减少了一半,而粮价的上涨使得许多人无法负担面包等基本食品. 人民希望有发言权,议会对代表权的要求正在增加。 这幅雕刻在彼得罗大屠杀前一个月被印出. 它旨在警告给予更多的人投票和潜在的革命的危险. 印刷品中的怪物代表着激进的改革;它战胜了英国珍贵的艺术、皇室和宗教机构。 在忠于政府并反对改革的人中,敌意和恐惧正在增加。 1819年7月21日,曼彻斯特地方法官宣布成立忠诚协会,以打击 " 煽动者推翻宪法并使我们卷入一场革命的灾难的企图 " 。 纪念彼得卢大屠杀200年后的全国性纪念活动的一部分,这个物体在"混乱"中被呈现出? 2019年在人民历史博物馆举办彼得卢与抗议展览会,讲述彼得卢的故事并突出其今天的相关性.
