This war was remembered for its inspiring figures, including Florence Nightingale and her team of nurses, who provided medical assistance to wounded soldiers on the battlefields and in the military hospitals. Floence Nightingale is remembered as a model of devotion and efficiency in nursing the wounded, and her legacy in nursing and healthcare influenced medical care in the 19th and 20th centuries. The engraving by James-Charles Armytage features a group portrait of Miss Nightingale and the nurses in the East, at a time when Florence and women from all over the country had come to serve in army hospitals in the Crimea during the war.
