About this work

This poster shows a group of people marching, but only their legs and arms are visible. They’re holding hands, wearing red and blue clothes, and walking in a line. Above them, the word "AMARCH" is split in half by their arms, with a small figure standing below. The text at the bottom reads: *"For George Davis, Not Forgetting Peter Chappell, Tower Hill to Scotland Yard, Meet 2.30 Sunday 8 February."* It’s a call to join a march. Look up Walker, Martin next to see more of his work.
