Title:
Joseph Bell, Scottish Pioneer Forensic Medicine
Caption:
Joseph Bell (1837-1911) was a Scottish lecturer and the inspiration for the literary character Sherlock Holmes. He was a great-grandson of Benjamin Bell, a forensic surgeon. In his instruction, Bell emphasized the importance of close observation in making a diagnosis. To illustrate this, he would often pick a stranger and, by observing him, deduce his occupation and recent activities. These skills caused him to be considered a pioneer in forensic science at a time when science was not yet widely used in criminal investigations.
