Florence Nightingales carriage at the seat of war
Born in Italy in 1820, she moved to England with her wealthy family and was educated at home by her father. Although it was not deemed suitable for ladies of Florences social standing to become nurses, she believed that it was Gods chosen path for her. She trained in Kaiserswerth, near Dusseldorf and then returned to England to take a post at a Harley Street surgery. Florence Nightingale was sent along with 38 nurses to the Barrack Hospital in Scutari to assist with medical support. As she cared for the troops she gained much respect, writing letters home on the soldiers behalf and fighting to improve the sanitary conditions of the field hospitals. When Florence returned from the Crimea she received a heros welcome. She published two books about her opinions on hospital reforms and campaigned for better quality nursing training until her death in August 1910

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures Florence Nightingale's carriage at the seat of war, a powerful symbol of her dedication to nursing and medical support during the Crimean War. Born in Italy in 1820, Florence defied societal norms for women of her social standing and followed what she believed was God's chosen path for her - becoming a nurse.
Educated by her father at home, Florence trained in Kaiserswerth before taking on a post at a Harley Street surgery in England. In 1856, she was sent with 38 nurses to the Barrack Hospital in Scutari where she cared for wounded soldiers and fought tirelessly to improve sanitary conditions.
Florence gained much respect from the troops as she wrote letters on their behalf and advocated for hospital reforms. Upon returning from Crimea, she received a hero's welcome and continued to campaign for better quality nursing training until her death in August 1910.
This print is not just a glimpse into history but also an important reminder of Florence Nightingale's legacy as a pioneer in modern nursing practices. Her courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication continue to inspire generations of healthcare professionals around the world.
