EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Unladylike (circa 1830)" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of shock and surprise at a dining table. The image captures the exact moment when men rise from their seats, horror-stricken, causing dishes to topple over in urgency. What could have caused such an uproar? As our eyes follow the commotion, we see a woman standing up amidst the chaos, her hand firmly grasping a bell rope. The title of the photograph reveals that it is precisely this action that has left everyone astounded - "Company shocked at a Lady getting up to ring the Bell". In an era where strict etiquette governed every aspect of life, this act was deemed highly unconventional and scandalous.

It challenges societal norms while capturing human reactions frozen in time. As we delve deeper into its narrative layers, we find ourselves pondering questions about gender roles and expectations. With its striking visuals and thought-provoking subject matter, "Unladylike" invites us to reflect on how far society has come since then while
