"The Peterloo Massacre" is a significant historical print created by the British caricaturist and illustrator George Cruikshank in 1819. The artwork serves as a graphic representation and a poignant social commentary on the events of the Peterloo Massacre, which occurred on August 16, 1819, when a cavalry charge into a crowd of protesters at St Peter's Field in Manchester, England, resulted in the deaths and injuries of numerous peaceful demonstrators who had gathered to demand parliamentary reform.

Cruikshank, known for his sharp wit and political engagement through art, produced the work in the immediate aftermath of the massacre. The print is characterized by its detailed depiction of the chaos and brutality of the event, capturing the horror and violence inflicted upon men, women, and children by the government forces. It stands as a powerful visual indictment of the authorities' actions and has been recognized as an important piece of political art that contributed to the public outcry and subsequent political discourse surrounding the tragedy.

The print is notable not only for its historical significance but also for its artistic merit. Cruikshank's use of composition, contrast, and emotive imagery conveys the tumultuous scene with dramatic effect, making it a compelling example of the artist's skill in using visual media to influence public opinion and advocate for social change. "The Peterloo Massacre" by George Cruikshank remains an enduring symbol of the struggle for democratic rights and the role of art in documenting and responding to historical events.
