"Company Shocked At A Lady Getting Up To Ring The Bell" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray. Published in 1805, this work exemplifies Gillray's sharp wit and keen observation of social mores and class distinctions in Georgian England. The print captures a moment of social faux pas, where a lady, presumably of some standing, rises to ring a bell, an action that would have been considered highly improper for someone of her status. In the context of the time, such tasks were relegated to servants, and the lady's breach of etiquette shocks the assembled company, whose exaggerated reactions are a hallmark of Gillray's style.

James Gillray (1756–1815) is often celebrated as one of the greatest caricaturists of his time, known for his incisive and often biting commentary on political and social issues. His works frequently targeted the excesses and absurdities of the British aristocracy and political figures, using humor and satire to critique the status quo. "Company Shocked At A Lady Getting Up To Ring The Bell" is no exception, as it humorously underscores the rigid social hierarchies and the importance placed on decorum and propriety in upper-class society.

The print is notable not only for its social commentary but also for its artistic quality. Gillray's attention to detail, expressive characters, and dynamic composition draw the viewer into the scene, making the absurdity of the situation all the more palpable. The exaggerated facial expressions and body language of the shocked company members serve to amplify the humor and highlight the absurdity of the social conventions being lampooned.

"Company Shocked At A Lady Getting Up To Ring The Bell" remains a significant work in the study of Georgian satire and caricature, offering insights into the social dynamics and cultural norms of the period. Through this print, Gillray continues to be remembered as a master of satire, whose works provide a window into the complexities and contradictions of his time.
