EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable plate with an inscription dedicated to the iconic Florence Nightingale. Crafted from pewter by an English School in the 19th century, this unique piece is now housed at the Florence Nightingale Museum in London, UK. The inscription on the plate reads "Delhi / Havelock / Miss Nightingale (Florence) / Soakes smokes & jokes" adding a touch of humor and personality to this historical artifact. The plate also features a line drawing portrait of Florence Nightingale herself, capturing her unmistakable profile. What makes this depiction truly intriguing is that it portrays her engaged in an unexpected act – smoking a cigarette. This unconventional portrayal challenges traditional notions and offers us a glimpse into the lesser-known aspects of Florence Nightingale's life. With its delicate craftsmanship and handwritten details, this platter serves as both a souvenir and tribute to one of history's most influential female figures. It not only celebrates her groundbreaking work as a nurse but also reveals her playful side through its humorous inscription. As we admire this extraordinary print from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of Florence Nightingale's enduring legacy and how she continues to inspire generations with her unwavering dedication to healthcare and social reform.
