Product Description

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE U.S. HISTORICAL COLLECTIBLE DOLL: Standing 17 1/2" tall, the individually numbered Florence Nightingale Doll is dressed in a hand tailored outfit based on the portrait on the cover of the brochure about the Florence Nightingale Museum. Her jacket and skirt are of finely twilled tan cotton, trimmed with brown piping ribbon on the sleeves, at the bottom of her jacket bodice and her shoulders. The jacket is closed with seven brown bead buttons with three buttons on each shoulder as epaulets. She wears a pearl pin at the top of her jacket. Her cotton chemise and petticoat are trimmed in fine lace. Her cap is fashioned with the same lace pattern, with rosettes at the ears. She wears painted black shoes from the period. Her hose are traditionally black sheer. The lamp, or lantern, that she carries in her left hand is based on the original at the museum. The head, chest, arms, hands, legs and shoes are made of fine bisque porcelain, kiln-fired and painted by hand. Nightingale Training School for Nurses Florence Nightingale's greatest achievement was to raise nursing to the level of a respectable profession for women. In 1860, with the public subscriptions of the Nightingale Fund, she established the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St Thomas' Hospital. Mrs Sarah Wardroper, Matron at St Thomas', became the head of the new school. **Please note: Boxes may have some wear from storage at the U.S. Historical Society**
