Delist and Replace: Hospital at Scutari

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 16 Feb 2015 at 16:31:53 (UTC)

Florence Nightingale's hospital at Scutari, one of the first modern hospitals

Proposed substitute, restored by me from a newly-available better scan.

Reason

Jake Wartenberg did a good job with the source image he had. Unfortunately, it's not a very good source image. While part of the difference is that the Simpson images exist in at least two states - one with additional colours on lithographic plates - but the important difference is that the LoC produced one of its worst scans for their copy of the image. The Wellcome scan is much, much better. I've cropped it a bit because part of the caption was heavily smudged - but I could grab the text from a third state of the lithograph, File:Crimean War; Florence Nightingale at Scutari Hospital. Colou Wellcome V0015447.jpg (note that the colour of the caps changes from red to blue!) as the text doesn't change between states.

Articles this image appears in

Florence Nightingale, Selimiye Barracks, Hospital, John Forrest (doctor), History of hospitals (all updated to suggested replacement, as I don't see this being controversial.
