Brief Biography-Charles Davidson Bell was born in Fife, Scotland, in 1813 and arrived at the Cape of Good Hope in 1830. His first major venture was a trip into the interior to sketch an account of an expedition to the Tropic of Capricorn. In 1848, he was appointed Surveyor-General. He was also a designer of stamps, medals, book illustrations, and heraldry. Belville in Cape Town is in his name due to his engineering work on the railway line between Wellington and Cape Town. In 1873, he returned to Scotland with his family, where he died in 1882.
