Original – Crimean War: Florence Nightingale with her lamp at a patient's bedside. Coloured lithograph after H. Rae.

Reason

A Hi-Res of lithograph Florence Nightingale, shown here in an interpretation of one her many roles - in this specific case, her making the rounds with a lamp at night to check up on the sick and injured, which earned her the nickname "the lady with the lamp." Her lasting legacy would be most felt in World War I, when Red Cross personnel would attempt to emulate her style of care when treating the military casualties.

• I believe most works like this had borders. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:38, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
  • File:Crimean_War;_Florence_Nightingale_with_her_lamp_at_a_patient_Wellcome_V0015794.jpg indicates this may well be an exception. Maybe. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:53, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
    • Hmm... interesting. The quality's there, so support, but if there was a border, and it's been cropped, I'd opposed. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:28, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

• Are those hairs on the lens on her shawl just below her right arm on either side or cracks in the paint? Belle (talk) 00:38, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
  • This isn't painted, but thick layers of ink can crack. In any case,they should be edited out. With ephemera, mass-produced, we should be giving the best possible view of the ephemera. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 14:43, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
