A previously unknown photograph of British nurse Florence Nightingale that was taken in 1858 recently went on display at the Florence Nightingale Museum in London. The image was discovered in an album of pictures taken in the mid-19th century by William Slater. The museum said portraits of Nightingale are rare because the famed nurse was reluctant to be photographed for religious reasons and worried that personal fame might hinder her work.
