Editor's Note: 'Bell, born in Scotland in 1813, arrived at the Cape aged sixteen and remained in the Colony for almost five decades, during which he contributed significantly to its aesthetic, social and business life. Gifted artist, wood carver, engraver, sculptor, expert in designing brass and silverware, philatelist, authority on heraldry, land surveyor, traveller, geologist, archaeologist and director of companies - the list of his interests and accomplishments seems endless and his output was considerable. Yet for over a century after his death Charles Bell was little known.'
