Description

In 1937, artist Peter David Edstrom made a stone sculpture of Florence Nightingale for Lincoln Park in Los Angeles, CA. The park is located a block away from the county hospital.

Nightingale is depicted in a nurse’s dress and hat. Her hands—which were broken and badly reformed—hold a candle.

A matching statue by Edstrom is located at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, CA.
