See newly discovered photos of Florence Nightingale

To celebrate Florence Nightingale's 193rd birthday, the Florence Nightingale Museum is delighted to display two never-before-seen photographs of Nightingale. The two miniature photographs are informal snapshots of that great Victorian lady, taken in her old age. The highly personal photographs may have been taken by Nightingale's Lady Companion, Fanny Gibbs, and remained in her possession after Nightingale's death. Fanny lived with Florence Nightingale at her now-demolished home in South Street, London in the last few years of Nightingale's life.

This temporary display will be on view at the Florence Nightingale Museum for ten days only between 8 and 17 May 2013.
