Description: **Harris and Ewing Photos** **Florence Nightingale Medal Awarded** **Washington, D.C., June 11 -- The Florence Nightingale Medal, the highest award that may be made to members of the nursing profession, was awarded to Miss Anna E. Butler, American Red Cross nurse, today. Miss Butler, who is the fifteenth American nurse to receive the award, saw active service during the World War where she organized two Red Cross hospitals in France. She saw active service for refugee children repatriated from Germany. Admiral Cary T. Grayson, chairman of the American Red Cross, made the presentation for Max Huber, president of the International Red Cross. In the photograph, left to right: Miss Butler, Admiral Grayson, and Mabel T. Boardman, secretary of the American Red Cross. 6/11/37** The Florence Nightingale Medal is a prestigious award in the nursing field, recognizing exceptional service and dedication. Miss Anna E. Butler's contributions during World War I, particularly in organizing hospitals and aiding refugee children, earned her this distinguished honor. The presentation of the medal highlights the significant impact of her work and the continued importance of recognizing such contributions in the field of healthcare and humanitarian aid. === This 7x8.5” original type 1 photograph is from the personal collection of photographer Wes Howland (1906-1956). Howland was a reporter with the Harris-Ewing news service in Washington D.C from 1931-1941, and went on to serve with the military. He was one of a small number of photographers with complete access to the White House, Capitol, Senate, and House. This photo was part of a collection of over 1200 8x10” Wes Howland personal archive images that we acquired from his estate. Included with the lot was the following note from a relative: “Periodically he would send his 8x10 glossy’s to his mother. Soon after (joining the Marines) the newspaper of Harris & Ewing went out of business. As far as I know, the hundreds of pictures he took and sent his mother are one of a kind, and the only ones in existence. No prints have ever been made. I inherited them from my grandmother.” Not only did Mr Howland have incredible access to the government figures of the day but he was a highly skilled photographer who produced some stunning historical images and documented Washington D.C. in the 1930s like few others.
