Tinted black and white image of Florence Nightingale. Only her head is visible; her chin length hair is pulled back and parted in the middle, with the back of her head covered by a small bonnet. She is looking just to the left of the photographer and is not smiling.

Florence Nightingale was born #OTD in 1820.
Though best known as a nurse (maybe a reductive and gendered way of siloing her contributions) she did pioneering work applying statistics to public health and communicating her results with innovative data visualization.
