A NEW mural of Alexander Graham Bell has been unveiled in the city's Southside.
Located on the side of Brooklyn Cafe, on Minard Road, the artwork is part of the Shawlands Mural Trail and was created by Don Fiyas.
While some dispute remains over who truly created the device, with scientists Antonio Meucci and Elisa Gray being rival claimants, it was Bell who first patented the invention before founding the Bell Telephone Company in 1877. This interest was inherited from his parents – his mother was deaf and his father was a professor of elocution at the University of Edinburgh.
By the age of 26 Bell was a professor of vocal physiology and elocution at the Boston University School of Oratory where he met his wife, Mabel Hubbard, who attended as a deaf student.
