Description:
|
A broadside, printed on one side only, with text in single column. Dated from event described in the text. Henry Hunt was a radical orator who advocated parliamentary reform and the repeal of the Corn Laws. He was convicted and jailed for his participation in the infamous 1819 Manchester rally that became the Peterloo Massacre when the police and army intervened. He was released in 1822. This broadside advertises Hunt's triumphal entry into London. It states that the procession will begin in Islington, accompanied by music, flags and banners, and finish at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, where a banquet will be held in Hunt's honour. Readers are invited to join the banquet, which will feature music, toasts and illuminations, for 7s.6d.
