Photo Mug : Lea Hurst, home of Florence Nightingale
Home Decor from Mary Evans Picture Library
Lea Hurst, home of Florence Nightingale
Born in Italy in 1820, she moved to England with her wealthy family and was educated at home by her father. Although it was not deemed suitable for ladies of Florence's social standing to become nurses, she believed that it was God's chosen path for her. She trained in Kaiserswerth, near Dusseldorf and then returned to England to take a post at a Harley Street surgery. Florence Nightingale was sent along with 38 nurses to the Barrack Hospital in Scutari to assist with medical support. As she cared for the troops she gained much repect, writing letters home on the soldiers behalf and fighting to improve the sanitary conditions of the field hospitals. When Florence returned from the Crimea she received a hero's welcome. She published two books about her opinions on hospital reforms and campaigned for better quality nursing training until her death in August 1910

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historic Lea Hurst, once home to the legendary Florence Nightingale. Born in Italy in 1820, Florence defied societal norms and followed her calling to become a nurse, despite it not being deemed suitable for ladies of her social standing. She trained in Kaiserswerth and returned to England to make a significant impact on the field of nursing.
Florence's dedication and compassion led her to the Barrack Hospital in Scutari during the Crimean War, where she cared for wounded soldiers and fought tirelessly for better sanitary conditions. Her efforts earned her respect and admiration from all who crossed paths with her.
After returning from Crimea, Florence continued her advocacy for hospital reforms and quality nursing training until her passing in August 1910. Her legacy lives on as a pioneer in healthcare and an inspiration to generations of nurses around the world.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of Florence Nightingale's unwavering commitment to serving others and improving healthcare practices. It is a tribute to a true hero whose selfless actions continue to inspire us today.
