Nightingale is almost unobtainable in signed photos; we can not find any records of one coming to auction in the last 20 years!
Fantastic cabinet photo of Nightingale signed; Considered The Founder Of Modern Nursing. Because of her religious beliefs, Nightingale did not approve of being photographed and when asked would almost always refuse to be photographed. Signed Cabinet photo from the London Stereoscopic Company.This is one of Nightingales most iconic photographs and one of only a few known photographs of her. This photo was personally signed for a well known autograph collector Charles E Rice on May 15, 1903, on Nightingales 84th birthday anniversary. The photo was once attached to a larger piece of paper where Rice makes note of the date, on the back he also added the same information as well as the fact that it was signed in her home at “10th South Street, Park Lane, W. London”
Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was a British nurse and humanitarian known as "the Lady With The Lamp," she headed a team of field nurses in the Crimean War and later founded the first institution for the training of nurses.
