This print captures Florence Nightingale in her carriage during her time in the Crimea in 1856. Known as "Florries Trolley" this humble vehicle perfectly reflects the simplicity and grace of the woman it transported. In 1854, amidst the turmoil of the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale was appointed by Sidney Herbert, Secretary of State for War and a family friend, to introduce female nurses into British military hospitals. Throughout the war, she dedicated herself tirelessly to improving conditions for soldiers. The image showcases not only Nightingale's determination but also highlights her significant contribution to medicine and nursing. The black-and-white engraving evokes a sense of history and nostalgia from this pivotal period in healthcare. In this photograph, we witness Nightingale's journey through Istanbul (then known as Constantinople) en route to Scutari where she worked diligently at military hospitals. The presence of soldiers surrounding her carriage symbolizes their trust and admiration for this remarkable lady who became known as "the Lady with the Lamp". As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of Florence Nightingale's unwavering dedication to caring for others during times of conflict. Her legacy lives on today as an inspiration for all those who strive to make a difference in healthcare worldwide.
