The Florence Nightingale Museum Souvenir guidebook
Illustrated, and in full colour, this guidebook gives a brief introduction to the museum, Florence Nightingale’s life, the Nightingale Training School and the Florence Nightingale Foundation. This guide is, in fact, a venture between the foundation and the museum.
This is so much more than your usual guidebook. Florence Nightingale’s life and legacy are explored and beautifully illustrated with photographs of many of the artifacts from the museum’s extensive collection; Florence Nightingale’s lamp, her medicine chest and writing case sit alongside the photographs of Roger Fenton, and sketches by Florence’s sister Parthenope and much more besides. Broken down by easy-to-follow headings, such as Following her Calling; The Nations Goes to War and Campaigning, and with an interesting foreword and welcome section, this is a lovely guide for anyone who visits the museum and can also serve to whet the appetite of any Florence Nightingale fan and/or potential visitor you may know.
