Do not fill this in! === Photographs === Nightingale had a principled objection to having photographs taken or her portrait painted. An extremely rare photograph of her, taken at Embley on a visit to her family home in May 1858, was discovered in 2006 and is now at the [[Florence Nightingale Museum]] in London. A black-and-white photograph taken in about 1907 by [[Lizzie Caswall Smith]] at Nightingale's London home in South Street, Mayfair, was auctioned on 19 November 2008 by Dreweatts auction house in Newbury, Berkshire, England, for Β£5,500.<ref name="photograph">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7737130.stm |title=Rare Nightingale photo sold off |publisher=[[BBC News]] |access-date=19 November 2008 |date=19 November 2008 |archive-date=27 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090527072610/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7737130.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
