EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Florence Nightingale's iconic black bodice and matching skirt, dating back to the 1870s. Crafted from luxurious black silk, this ensemble epitomizes elegance and sophistication. The English School of the 19th century skillfully captured the timeless beauty of this outfit, which is now housed in the prestigious Florence Nightingale Museum in London. Florence Nightingale herself was a remarkable figure who revolutionized nursing practices during her lifetime (1820-1910). Known as "The Lady with the Lamp" she tirelessly cared for wounded soldiers during the Crimean War and became an influential advocate for healthcare reform. This exquisite garment not only represents her impeccable sense of style but also symbolizes her dedication to improving medical care. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this attire. Delicate lace collars and cuffs add a touch of femininity, while Victorian bone corsetry accentuates Nightingale's slender waist measuring just 25 inches. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when fashion played a significant role even amidst challenging circumstances. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate this historical artifact that transcends mere clothing; it embodies courage, compassion, and resilience. Let us honor Florence Nightingale's legacy by recognizing her contributions both as a nurse extraordinaire and as a woman who defied societal norms with grace and determination.
