1870h45578Pittsburgh 1870. Hardcover. Very good. 9 x 7 inches leather backed cloth boards very good light wear neat restoration along outer joints. Approximately 80-100 sheets of various colored paper filled in on both sides flyers with mounted newspaper articles drawings theatre programs invitations etc. kept by Florence Howe 1849-1929 daughter of Thomas Marshall Howe a businessman banker industrialist politician etc. considered Pittsburgh's "leading citizen" of the generation before Carnegie & Frick. Florence Howe would eventually marry George Wilkins Guthrie a respected well known attorney in Pittsburgh the Guthrie name comes up in this scrapbook fairly often; the two families were part of the same social set. Florence signed and dated the flyleaf 1870 at the family residence Greystone. There is a 7x5" photo of Florence and members of her family at Cape May in 1872 clippings that report marriages deaths and other local news as well as those articles that mention her father Thomas Howe. There are two pages of designs for a stylized "H" for Howe possibly to be used for family stationary or for a bookplate. Of specific interest in the news to Florence was the opening of Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works there is reportage about this as well as ephemera and programs from the venue itself. Of interest to Pittsburgh historians are the many programs of the amateur theatrical group "Crusaders" that would perform comedies burlesques and dramatic plays in the residences of wealthy Pittsburghers through the 1870s; we note that Florence Howe appeared in at least two of these and the dozens of programs attest to the central place these at-home theatricals had in Florence's life and at least one Crusaders event took place at the Howe residence. Also of interest are seven comedic pencil sketches or cartoons likely by Florence herself or one of her relatives/friends. She was also partial to newspaper verse and there are several pages of clippings of poetry. A very interesting and amusing scrapbook with great Pittsburgh chops coming from one of the most prominent families of the period. The Howe residence was called "Greystone" and sat near the Fifth Ave. entrance of Chatham College part of Millionaires' Row back then. There was a gate house still extant facing Fifth Ave. The main Greystone mansion stood on the hill above this gate house. The property also had a notable natural spring; following the devastating Johnstown Flood of 1889 the Howe family was inspired to make the spring's water accessible and free to the public and the first structure around Howe Springs was built by the architectural firm Alden & Harlow in 1896 as a posthumous memorial to Thomas Howe by his wife Mary A. Howe. Oil tycoon Michael Late Benedum razed Howe's original Greystone and replaced it with a much-praised 23-room mansion also called Greystone built by A. W. Vantine. This replacement mansion was built in 1911 in the grand Edwardian Classical style. This new Greystone was gifted to Chatham College on April 26 1960 and renamed Benedum Hall. It was sold in 1985 to Greystone Associates which turned the estate into six high-end condos. hardcover

1864177463London: 21 December 1864. Your great kindness on behalf of this good man's family Nightingale writes to Davis 1820-1883 a clergyman and headmaster to rally support for the family of the recently deceased Lutheran minister Theodor Fliedner 1800-1864 Nightingale's old friend and tutor whom she viewed as a father figure. Fliedner founded and ran 30 deaconess houses where women could train in theology and nursing and his family required financial aid to continue his work. Nightingale met Theodor Fliedner in 1841 and in 1850 became a temporary resident at his flagship deaconess community the Kaiserswerther Diakonie. The women who resided there had committed to a holy life and taken vows. However they were not enclosed as they were trained to go out into the community to care for the sick. Further they could leave at any point if they wished. It was an ideal place for Nightingale for whom nursing was a religious vocation and the time she spent there was "key in the development of her mission" Macdonald p. 7. In 1851 she wrote her first publication issued anonymously titled The Institute of Kaiserswerth on the Rhine in which she recommended Fliedner's deaconess houses to English women. She commented on "the delicacy the cheerfulness the grace of Christian kindness the moral atmosphere" in the hospitals and "the kindness of the sisters in imparting their own knowledge" Nightingale p. 19. The Fliedners and Nightingale remained close long after her stay. In 1853 she became godmother to their child and upon Fliedner's death Nightingale felt that she had lost a father. Determined to support his family in their "continuance of the work" Nightingale wrote and printed an appeal and engaged a network of clergymen to promote the cause. To this end she writes to Reverend Davis that "you were so kind. as to enter into a proposal for sending a provision for the family" and asks that he circulate her pamphlets "amongst the likeliest members" of his community.

"I am very glad that there is to be a real life of the never to be forgotten glorious Dr. Livingstone. I wish Dr. Blaikie God speed. With regard to my private letter to you it was I need hardly say from the depths of my heart & not written with a view to publication and I cannot recall a word that was in it. But if you think that my poor words can contribute anything to what must be the object of every English speaking nation & not only this but of every man woman & child all over the world viz. to make known one who has opened the way of peace & not terror to those who were 'lying in darkness & the shadow of death' on so large a portion of the globe. I feel that I cannot decline what otherwise is so repugnant to me . And pray believe me ever the faithful servant of yourself & the great memory of as true a hero saint as ever lived ."<br /> <br /> Written on the occasion of the preparation for imminent publication of William Garden Blaikie's biography of Livingstone published 1880 the letter gives permission for a letter of hers to be published in which she said of Livingstone: "We cannot console ourselves for our loss. He is irreplaceable" p. 458 and called him "the greatest man of his generation unknown

1870List36105N.p. 1870. Carte After the original photograph by William Edward Kilburn 1818–1891 taken circa 1854 with later CDV issue probably circa 1870s. Albumen print mounted on card; sitter identified in print beneath image. Standard carte-de-visite format approximately 2½ x 4 inches. Excellent contrast with light surface wear. Seated three-quarter portrait of Nightingale in dark silk dress with white collar hands folded over a paper posed beside an upholstered Victorian chair. The image derives from a sitting arranged in London with William Edward Kilburn one of Britain’s early professional photographers and a former daguerreotypist who gained fame by exhibiting at the Great Exhibition of 1851. By the early 1850s Kilburn had established a reputation for photographing members of the aristocracy and prominent public figures.<br /> <br /> The Nightingale sitting happened shortly before her departure for the Crimea in October 1854 at a moment when her name was just entering the public press. The portrait predates her full transformation into the national icon later known as the “Lady with the Lamp.†Unlike later more romanticized images Kilburn’s photograph presents a composed unsentimental likeness more consistent with standard portraiture practices than her later photographs. Following Nightingale’s wartime service at Scutari 1854–1856 and the subsequent surge of public acclaim Kilburn’s image became the primary photographic source from which engravings lithographs and later carte-de-visite reproductions were made.1<br /> <br /> 1 Denis Pellerin “Florence Nightingale: The Mystery Behind Her Iconic Photographs†The Classic November 15 2020 https://theclassicphotomag.com/florence-nightingale-the-mysteries-behind-her-iconic-photographs/ accessed February 27 2026. unknown
