The Wikipedia page for Charles Davidson Bell says

Charles Davidson Bell (22 October 1813 Crail, Fife, Scotland - 7 April 1882 Edinburgh) was the Surveyor-General in the Cape, an artist, heraldist, and designer of Cape medals and stamps.

If Bell died in 1882 he cannot have painted the picture in 1898. Either the date is wrong or the picture has been misattributed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.43.123 (talk) 16:46, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
