Reginald Southey (1835-1899). Medical doctor.
Southey was a nephew of Romantic poet Robert Southey, and the fifth son of medical doctor Henry Herbert Southey .
A graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, he studied medicine at St Bartholomew's before travelling the world. He went on to serve as a member of the Lunacy Commission from 1883 until 1898.
He is notable for having been the life-long friend of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ('Lewis Carroll'). Southey greatly encouraged Dodgson to take up photography; which he then persued for 24 years, becoming the greatest Victorian photographic portraitist.
