Footnotes: Note: Florence Nightingale, 1820-1910, known as the “The Lady of the Lamp”, was a British nurse, social reformer and statistician who is best remembered as the founder of modern nursing. Her experiences as a nurse during the Crimean War were foundational in her views about sanitation. She established St. Thomas’s Hospital and the Nightingale Training School for Nurses in 1860. She is recognised as one the greatest Victorians and a female icon in her own lifetime. This highly personal collection has been passed down through four generations of the vendor's family from Eliza Francis “Fanny” Pettit (later Gibbs), who was Florence Nightingale's lady companion for two years in 1906 and 1907 and lived with Miss Nightingale at 10 South Street, Park Lane, London.When Fanny left Miss Nightingale’s employ, she was gifted two personal items by the great lady as a personal thank you for her service, a travelling teapot and a silver plated tea caddy.By all accounts, Fanny was highly regarded by both Miss Nightingale and her family and after leaving Miss Nightingale's employment at the end of 1907 to get married, she was subsequently invited with her new husband to spend their honeymoon at the family’s country estate, Lea Hurst, in Derbyshire, where Miss Nightingale grew up.Fanny's daughter, Eileen, was christened with the middle name Florence, in honour of Miss Nightingale, on the day that Fanny was informed by letter that Florence Nightingale had passed away. In perhaps the most poignant item in the collection, this letter recounts Miss Nightingale’s final moments and how she was invited, by Elizabeth Bosanquet the housekeeper at South Street, to see Miss Nightingale at rest. The letter, as transcribed below, is a moving reflection of the high regard Fanny was held in. Dear Fanny,This is sad news for you to have heard on the day of your little baby's christening.I know how deeply you will feel it but I hope you will bear up for the baby's sake.If you return in time and can manage to come round, I think you would like to look on Miss Nightingale's peaceful face. She passed away quietly at 2pm yesterday resting on her pillows just as she had been placed the night before.A change came during the night and we had to send for the doctor and knew it was grave and sent to the relations.It was very peaceful and merciful and one is so thankful she slept away with no suffering. We shall all be the better for her wonderful influence.Yours faithfullyElizabeth Bosanquet. Fanny was subsequently invited to Miss Nightingale's memorial service in St. Paul's Cathedral which was held one week after her death on 20th August 1910.The two photographs are informal snapshots of Miss Nightingale. They are thought to be the last images of the nurse taken in her old age at her house at 10 South Street, Park Lane by Fanny using her Brownie camera and have never been published. They were exhibited in “Nightingale In 200 Objects, People & Places”, at the Florence Nightingale Museum in London, 8 March 2020 - 7 March 2021, celebrating the bicentenary of Florence Nightingale’s birth.The three prescriptions were also on loan in the same exhibition at the Florence Nightingale Museum and were displayed as “Item 130”. During the Crimean War Miss Nightingale contracted brucellosis, a bacterial infection which causes fever, joint pain, extreme fatigue, and depression. The infection became chronic and as a result Miss Nightingale experienced recurring episodes of illness for the rest of her life. She spent most of her later years at her home in South Street. Towards the end of her life Miss Nightingale was supported by Fanny Pettit, who helped Nightingale with daily tasks such as taking her medications. Fanny kept these prescriptions as a keepsake when Miss Nightingale passed away.
