Staged portrait of Southey with skeletons of human and monkey taken by Dodgson. Reginald Southey (September 15, 1835 - November 8, 1899) was an English physician and inventor of Southey's cannula or tube, a type of trocar used for draining edema of the limbs. A graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, he studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital before travelling the world. He went on to serve as a member of the Lunacy Commission from 1883 until 1898. He was Gulstonian Lecturer in 1867. He was a lifelong friend of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), and encouraged Dodgson to take up photography. Photographed in June of 1857.
