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.

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

The Longing for Italy the Italiensehnsucht of the german - speaking countries was forced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Italian Travels and sent scores of young and old to Italy's shores countryside and cities. The Grand Tour was the 17th- and 18th-century custom of a traditional trip of Europe undertaken by upper-class young European men and women of sufficient means and rank typically accompanied by a chaperone such as a family member when they had come of age about 21 years old. The custom - which flourished from about 1660 until the advent of large-scale rail transport in the 1840s and was associated with a standard itinerary - served as an educational rite of passage. Though the Grand Tour was primarily associated with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry similar trips were made by wealthy young men of other Protestant Northern European nations and from the second half of the 18th century by some South and North Americans. By the mid 18th century the Grand Tour had become a regular feature of aristocratic education in Central Europe as well although it was restricted to the higher nobility. The tradition declined as enthusiasm for neo-classical culture waned and with the advent of accessible rail and steamship travel. Wikipedia unknown
