This photograph captures a priceless piece of history - a gold enamelled brooch presented to Florence Nightingale by none other than Queen Victoria herself. The year was 1855, and the Crimean War was raging on. In recognition of her unwavering dedication and selfless service as a nurse during this tumultuous time, Queen Victoria bestowed upon Nightingale this exquisite token of appreciation. The brooch is resplendent with intricate details that showcase the craftsmanship of the English School from the 19th century. Adorned with delicate leaves, stars, and a wreath encircling its center, it exudes elegance and regality. The star at its core symbolizes bravery while the wreath signifies victory - fitting tributes to both Nightingale's courage and her triumph in revolutionizing nursing practices.
