In this issue of the journal are two cohort profile papers reporting on the follow-up of the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust's study of Family Diet and Health in Pre-War Britain (1937–39). In this photoessay we compare photographs of the original fieldwork with those of the most recent follow-up. The photographs illustrate two contrasting eras in the life course of a historical cohort study.
