While looking at this photo of Florence Nightingale, I nursed a beer.

I found this strikingly beautiful 1858 image of nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) on Listverse.com’s feature, “Top 10 Fascinating Recently Discovered Photographs.” According to the piece, the photo of the camera-shy “Lady with the Lamp” was found in 2006. In the picture, the nurse, writer and staistician is reading outside her family home in Embley Park, Hampshire. The picture, only one of eight known photographs of Nightingale, was taken two years after she returned home from the Crimean War. I wish I had a much larger version of it to share because the photo and not only its subject is great.
