Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) is best known for her pioneering work in nursing during the Crimean War, where she introduced modern nursing practices and significantly improved the health and survival rates of soldiers. Her tireless dedication to the welfare of others earned her the title "The Lady with the Lamp." After the war, she continued her advocacy for improved healthcare and sanitation, and her legacy continues to inspire and influence the nursing profession to this day. This Christmas card, with its connection to a historical figure of such significance, is a precious treasure for collectors of Victorian-era memorabilia and those interested in the history of nursing and Christmas traditions.
