This is such a wonderful subject, but so far I haven't found this stamp of a very young Florence Nightingale here. A semipostal in the series "Helpers of Humanity", Germany, west, 1955. Note that her name is incorrectly "Florentine". Design by Hubert Berke. (Please also see Nethryk's contribution of September 2012, for much more detail!)  |

Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC (1820-1910) was the world famous founder of modern nursing. Edith Louisa Cavell (1865-1915) was a British nurse who saved the lives of soldiers from both sides during World War I. For helping some 200 Allied soldiers to escape from German-occupied Belgium, Cavell was arrested, condemned, and executed by a German firing squad. Here is an image of an airmail stamp featuring portraits of Florence Nightingale and Edth Cavell, engraved and printed by Waterlow & Sons, Ltd., and issued by Costa Rica on December 27, 1945 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the nation's Red Cross Society, Scott No. C120, plus images of photographs of the two nurses which probably served as models for this stamp's design. - nethryk    |
