James Gillray (1756-1815) - Etching Company Shocked at a Lady Ringing the Bell
Description
A wonderful satirical print by James Gillray. A series of unfortunate events has occurred after a lady has risen to pull the bell for her servants. The men around the table appear to be the suitors of a rich widow. Published by Hannah Humphrey, hand-coloured etching, published 20 November 1804. Printed on wove laid to card.Condition
There are numerous condition issues that are visible in the images provided. The print has been heavily cropped and no plate lines remain. At some point the print has been removed from a mount - this has caused tearing and losses to the substrate. The title is very fragile and is connected to the main image by paper tape. With discolouration and foxing.
