The collection of photographs from Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar of Francis Frith & Co.
No full textThe Iberian collection of Frith & Co. is one of the most interesting in the 19th century peninsular photographic scene. And this is so due to its earliness in the 1860s, due to its numerical and geographical extension, and also due to its technical and artistic quality.
In 2007, this collection was the subject of an extensive study and an excellent exhibition in Barcelona, at the Museo Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in collaboration with the Photographic Museum of the University of Navarra.i In this study, only Napper was mentioned as the author of the photographs. However, over the last fifteen years we have had the opportunity to access new data and documents and also a greater number of vintage photographs, the study of which yields interesting conclusions to clarify, if not entirely, then at least in part, some of the unknowns in the collection which needed to be resolved. In 2016 I published a paper that, in addition to offering new biographical data about Robert Peters Napper, dealt mainly with the stereoscopic work in Spain by Frank Mason Good.ii There I expressed my suspicion that Good was also one of the authors of the Frith collection. Here we will present new and interesting contributions to this issue

Many paediatricians assess infants or children with a history of excessive fluid intake. Most patients will have primary polydipsia, but the differential diagnosis includes rare disorders requiring specialist input and lifelong treatment. This article will focus on conditions characterised by abnormal vasopressin (AVP) secretion by the posterior pituitary gland. We describe the clinical features and investigations that are useful in identifying the underlying pathology in these patients and explain why the water deprivation test may not be needed. We discuss why the term diabetes insipidus should be consigned to the history books and why the precise cause of AVP deficiency is still unclear in some instances. Two clinical cases will be used to highlight topics such as diagnostic uncertainty, assessing thirst objectively and the potential role of copeptin
