Not on view

Nurse Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) dedicated herself to reforming military hospitals and attracted worldwide admiration, especially for her valiant and compassionate service in Turkey in 1854–57 during the Crimean War, in the course of which she contracted a form of brucellosis called “Crimean fever.” Here she looks down with becoming modesty amid a show of crisp linen and lace.
