EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Miss Nightingale and the Military in the East, c1860" captures a significant moment during the Crimean War. In this image, we see Florence Nightingale, renowned as the "Lady of the Lamp" attending to a patient's pulse in a British military hospital at Scutari. During the war, Nightingale was appointed by Sidney Herbert, Secretary of State for War, to introduce female nurses into military hospitals. This appointment marked a turning point in healthcare history as she tirelessly worked to improve conditions for soldiers on the battlefield. In this scene, we witness her dedication and expertise as she carefully monitors a soldier's heart rate. Dressed in her Victorian-era nurse attire with an apron draped over her dress, Nightingale exudes professionalism and compassion. Surrounded by medical supplies such as bottles and bandages neatly arranged on shelves behind her, it is evident that she is fully committed to providing quality care to those under her charge. The room itself appears modest yet functional with its simple bed and basic furnishings. This powerful engraving serves not only as a testament to Florence Nightingale's pioneering work but also highlights the crucial role women played in shaping modern nursing practices. It stands as a reminder of their invaluable contributions during times of conflict and showcases their unwavering commitment to saving lives amidst adversity.
