EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Mr Albert Little, a retired Manchester businessman, holding a lamp given to him by none other than Florence Nightingale herself. At the age of 12, Albert was fortunate enough to meet this remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on his memory. Describing her as a "nice kindly old lady" he recalls how she would generously allow anyone to take shortcuts across the park as long as they sought permission first. It was through his uncle, who owned an inn near Lea Hurst, that Albert had the privilege of being introduced to Florence Nightingale. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) is widely recognized as an English social reformer and statistician, but it is her role as the founder of modern nursing that truly solidifies her legacy. During the Crimean War, she gained prominence for tirelessly tending to wounded soldiers and earned the moniker "The Lady with the Lamp" due to her habit of making rounds at night. This particular picture showcases a crop from its wider original form and dates back to July 5th, 1951. As an antique artifact steeped in historical significance and inherited by Mr Albert Little himself, this lamp holds priceless value not only for its connection with Florence Nightingale but also for its representation of nursing history.
