1901
(144) In Memory of Robert James Baron Wantage, V.C., K.C.B.
A privately printed memoir, containing on p. 53 a letter from Miss
Nightingale.
The letter, dated June 12, 1901, includes these words: “Lord
Wantage is a great loss, but he has been a great gain. And what he has
gained for us can never be lost. It is my experience that such men exist
only in England: a man who had everything (to use the common phrase)
which this world could give him, but who worked as hard, and to the last,
as the poorest able man—and all for others—for the common weal. A
man whose life makes a great difference for all: all are better off than if
he had not lived; and this betterness is for always, it does not die with
him—that is the true estimate of a great life.” These words were
quoted at the head of an article on Lord Wantage in the Edinburgh
Review, January 1902.
(145) Appeal on behalf of the Invalid Hospital for Gentlewomen,
Harley Street. Letter in the Times, November 12, 1901.
Reprinted in the Annual Reports of the Institution for 1902, 1903, etc.
The letter, though signed Florence Nightingale, bears no mark of her
style, and is not quite accurate in its account of her early association with
the hospital (see Vol. I. p. 133). The letter is said to have been written
for Miss Nightingale by Mrs. Dicey. The institution, re-christened “The
Florence Nightingale Hospital for Gentlewomen,” is now in new quarters
in Lisson-grove.
1905
(146) New Year's Message from Florence Nightingale to the
Nursing Staff of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, January 1905.
Printed on a card.
“I pray with all my heart that God will bless the work abundantly
in Edinburgh Infirmary, and enable the workers to do it for Him, in the
love which we owe Him.”
(147) Message to the Crimean Veterans. Printed at p. 47 of a
pamphlet entitled The Crimean and Indian Mutiny Veterans' Association,
Bristol. Bristol, 1905.
One of the last messages sent by Miss Nightingale. The anniversaries
celebrated by the Veterans, she says, “have always been marked
days to her also.”

1855–57
(7) Various Broadsheets, Popular Songs, etc., about Miss Nightingale
(see Vol. I. p. 266). A collection of them is preserved amongst
her Papers. The following is the text of the most popular of the
Songs:—
On a dark lonely night on the Crimea's dread shore
There had been bloodshed and strife on the morning before;
The dead and the dying lay bleeding around,
Some crying for help—there was none to be found.
Now God in His mercy He pitied their cries,
And the soldiers so cheerful in the morning do arise.
So forward, my lads, may your hearts never fail
You are cheered by the presence of a sweet Nightingale.
Now God sent this woman to succour the brave;
Some thousands she saved from an untimely grave.
Her eyes beam with pleasure, she's beauteous and good,
The wants of the wounded are by her understood.
With fever some brought in, with life almost gone,
Some with dismantled limbs, some to fragments are torn.
But they keep up their spirits, their hearts never fail,
They are cheered by the presence of a sweet Nightingale.
Her heart it means good, for no bounty she'll take,
She'd lay down her life for the poor soldier's sake;
She prays for the dying, she gives peace to the brave,
She feels that a soldier has a soul to be saved.
The wounded they love her as it has been seen,
She's the soldier's preserver, they call her their Queen.
May God give her strength, and her heart never fail,
One of Heaven's best gifts is Miss Nightingale.
The wives of the wounded, how thankful are they!
Their husbands are cared for by night and by day.
Whatever her country, this gift God has given,
And the soldiers they say she's an Angel from Heaven.
All praise to this woman, and deny it who can
That woman was sent as a comfort to man:
Let's hope that no more against them you'll rail,
Treat them well, and they'll prove like Miss Nightingale.

Nurse. Edited by Jane Williams. 2 vols. Hurst & Blackett, 1857.
Davis was one of Miss Stanley's party. She served as cook in the
General Hospital at Balaclava. Though the work of an obviously uneducated
and prejudiced woman, the book is useful as illustrating the
intrigue against Miss Nightingale in the Crimea, and as reflecting the
hostility which her strict discipline excited among some of the nurses.
The book is not to be trusted. Miss Nightingale made very pungent
remarks on this old woman's romancing about Lord Raglan and others.

Hospitals.… By Peter Pincoffs, M.D., late Civil Physician to the
Scutari Hospitals. William & Norgate.

account of Miss N.'s work. This is one of the most important authorities,
being the testimony of an eye-witness and a medical man; but Dr.
Pincoffs was not at Scutari till the middle of 1855.
(15) Soyer's Culinary Campaign: being Historical Reminiscences
of the Late War. By Alexis Soyer. London: G. Routledge, 1857.

Florence Nightingale. London: William Ridgway, 1864.

APPENDIX C
List of Portraits, Photographs, etc., of Florence
Nightingale
Authentic likenesses of Miss Nightingale, except in her earlier
years, are very few. When she had become famous, she shrank from
publicity. She was very seldom photographed, and as a general rule
she refused to sit for her portrait. The demand for portraits of her
was great, and the demand created a supply. This list includes,
however, with one probable exception (No. 5), only such portraits as
are authentic.
(1) 1820–1. Water-colour drawing of F. N. as a baby on the
knee of her Italian nurse Balia. At Lea Hurst.
(2) 1828. Water-colour drawing of Mrs. Nightingale with her two
daughters (Florence is on her mother's knee). In the possession of
Mrs. Leonard Cunliffe, daughter of Sir Douglas Galton. Reproduced
as frontispiece to Vol. I.
(3) 1828. Water-colour drawing of Mrs. Nightingale with her
two daughters, by A. E. Chalon. At Claydon. (Similar to, but not
identical in costume with, the foregoing.)
(4) 1839. Water-colour portrait, by William White, of Florence
Nightingale (sitting) and her sister, Parthenope, standing. In
possession of Mrs. Coltman.
(5) circ. 1840. Small oil portrait by Augustus L. Egg, R.A. In
the National Portrait Gallery (No. 1578). This picture was bought
from Mrs. Salis Schwabe (an admirer of Miss Nightingale with whom
she had a slight acquaintance) by Mr. William Rathbone, with a view
to its presentation to the nation; and was given to the Portrait
Gallery in 1910 by Mrs. Rathbone in accordance with her husband's
desire. In view of these facts, and as the attribution to Egg agrees
with dates, the Trustees accepted the portrait as authentic.
Miss Nightingale's family, however, doubt whether it is so.
There is no general resemblance. The face is plump, and all
other portraits at that age show a thin face. The narrow ridge of
F. N.'s nose is not given. The chestnut colour of the hair in the
portrait is not true to life. The eyebrows are unlike. The expression
is most uncharacteristic. All other early portraits, even quite
slight ones, are remarkable for a peculiarly contained, self-possessed
expression. The dress and ornaments are out of character; and
Miss Nightingale never wore ear-rings. If the portrait be indeed
of her, and by a practised artist, it can hardly have been made from
the life.
(6) c. 1845. Pencil sketch by Miss Hilary Bonham Carter. In
the possession of Miss B. A. Clough. Reproduced in Vol. I. p. 3838.
(7) c. 1850. Full-length, standing beside a pedestal, on which
stands an owl. Engraved by F. Holl from a pencil drawing by
Parthenope Nightingale (Lady Verney). Reproduced in the Illustrated
Times, February 2, 1856, and as frontispiece to the Victoria
Miniature Almanack and Fashionable Remembrancer for 1857.
(8) c. 1852. Large pencil head, copied about 1880 by J. R.
Parsons from a drawing by Lady Eastlake. The original was in bad
condition and is believed to have been destroyed. The copy is at
Lea Hurst.
(9) c. 1852. Photograph, three-quarter face, almost profile;
three-quarter length, seated, reading. A striped scarf. Taken in
Germany. At Claydon.
(10) 1854. Photograph, seated, looking down, by Kilburn, then
222 Regent Street. Taken during Miss Nightingale's time at Harley
Street. There were two positions as mentioned in the letter of Mrs.
Sutherland noticed under No. 15, “looking down in one, in the other
the eyes raised.” These are the photographs which some of Miss
Nightingale's family considered the best.
(11) 1854. A sketch; seated, reading a book; white flower in
her hair; red cross on her neck. “H. M. B. C. del.” [Miss Hilary
Bonham Carter, whose initials, however, were J. H. B. C.] “Published
November 28, 1854, by P. and D. Colnaghi: Colnaghi's
Authentic Series.” There was also published an uncoloured print of
the same drawing, which in turn was adapted in various forms—as
in a print published by W. Bemrose & Sons, lettered “Miss Florence
Nightingale, the Good Samaritan of Derbyshire, reading the accounts
of the dreadful sufferings of our brave wounded soldiers,” etc., etc.
(12) 1855. Miss Florence Nightingale and Mr. Bracebridge on
Cathcart's Hill, May 8, 1855. Lithographed by Day, and published.
This drawing was made up by Lady Verney and Lady Anne Blunt
from a slight sketch by Mrs. Bracebridge. Many other prints, still
further removed from life, were published—such as: “Florence
Nightingale in the Military Hospital at Scutari” (a coloured print
published, March 16, 1855, by Read & Co., 10 Johnson's Court,
Fleet Street); “Miss Florence Nightingale, the Soldiers' Friend”
(drawn by Elston, published May 1, 1856, by Ellis, 51 Jewin Street,
City); and “The Great Military Hospital at Scutari” (published,
with a sentimental legend, Feb. 24, 1855, by Stannard & Dixon,
7 Poland Street).
(13) 1856. Oil picture of Miss Nightingale receiving the wounded
at Scutari, by Jerry Barratt. Engraved as “Florence Nightingale
at Scutari, A Mission of Mercy,” by S. Bellin. The picture is in the
possession of Sir Percy Bates, Bart.
(14) 1856. Photograph, three-quarter length, three-quarter
face, standing, by The London Stereoscopic Co. This photograph
was taken at the request of Queen Victoria, and has often been
reproduced.
(15) 1856. Plaster statuette; standing, with a lamp in the right
hand, by Miss Hilary Bonham Carter. At Lea Hurst. There are
several replicas, or versions with some differences. One is at St.
Thomas's Hospital; another, in Mr. Henry Bonham Carter's possession;
another, at Claydon. A second version was, by advice of
Mr. Woolner, R.A., made less full in the skirt. A small version, on a
reduced scale (about 15 in. high), was also made, and is very widespread.
There is a letter to Miss Nightingale from Mrs. Sutherland
(June 1866), in which she says: “There are photographs of the
statuette which (though it seems odd to say so) are more characteristic
than the actual portraits, none of which but the ‘owl’ one
[No. 7], which you deprecate, give a real idea of what you were ten
years ago.”
(16) c. 1858. Photograph, full-length, full face, standing, by
Goodman. This was generally considered by Miss Nightingale's
family to be the best likeness; reproduced in Vol. I. p. 394.
(17) 1862. Marble bust, by Sir John Steell. This bust, presented
to Miss Nightingale by the non-commissioned officers and men of the
British Army, has been placed in the Museum of the Royal United
Service Institution in accordance with the provisions of her will.
There is a replica at Lea Hurst.
(18) 1864. Commencement of a head by G. F. Watts, R.A.
Miss Nightingale was persuaded by Sir Harry Verney to receive Mr.
Watts on one or two occasions, who made a beginning only of a
portrait. It is very slight, and Mr. Watts regarded it as so far a
failure. He hoped to be able to resume the work, but abandoned
the idea when Sir William Richmond made a portrait. The unfinished
canvas is at Limnerslease.
(19) 1887. Oil portrait, half-length, by Sir W. B. Richmond,
R.A. At Claydon. Reproduced as frontispiece to this volume.
1887 was the year of the final sittings; the portrait was begun at an
earlier date.
(20) c. 1890. Photograph, side face, in veil, by Colonel G. Lloyd
Verney.
(21) 1891. Photograph, three-quarter length, seated on a couch,
full face, by S. G. Payne & Son, Aylesbury. Taken at Claydon.
(22) 1906. Two photographs of Miss Nightingale in her room;
by Miss E. F. Bosanquet. One of these, enlarged, is reproduced
above, p. 306.
(23) 1907. Two water-colour drawings (and a replica), by Miss
F. Amicia de Biden Footner. One is reproduced above, p. 404.
These drawings of Miss Nightingale in her room at South Street are
in possession of various members of the family.
(24) 1908. Chalk-drawing, by Countess Feodora Gleichen. At
Windsor, made (from life) by command of King Edward VII. for a
collection of portraits of members of the Order of Merit.
