Item Details

Description

Nightingale (Florence).- Wood (Rev. J. G.) Routledge's Picture Natural History, first edition, signed presentation inscription from Florence Nightingale "For my dear little God-child Ruth [Verney] from God-mama aunt Florence. July 1882" to endpaper, illustrations, some light finger-soiling, several gatherings loose, original pictorial cloth, lacking backstrip, spine broken, rubbed, 4to, [c.1880].

⁂ An excellent association copy inscribed by Nightingale to her goddaughter. Ruth Verney was the daughter of Parthenope Nightingale and Harry Verney (who had proposed to the older of the Nightingales after his proposal was rejected by Florence). Florence would play a significant role in Ruth's upbringing and her goddaughter would return the favour in continuing her godmother's legacy after her death in 1910.
