Taken in 1881, during a time when medical technology was still limited, this image showcases Bell's innovative electrical detector that he designed specifically for this purpose. President Garfield had been suffering for weeks with an unidentified bullet causing immense pain and uncertainty. It was at this critical juncture that young Mr. Bell stepped forward, using his expertise to aid the ailing Executive.
