Pub Note:
"Florence Nightingale worked closely with medical statistician William Farr to create a series of analytic arguments for better sanitation in the British Army. The most famous graphic from their collaboration is a colorful rose diagram, referred to by Nightingale as “wedges.” It is part of a set of three polar area charts which were originally printed in a confidential 1858 report presented to the Secretary of State for War titled “Notes on the Health of the British Army.” Popular author Harriet Martineau offered to help Nightingale publicize the findings of her report. The product of their collaboration was “England and Her Soldiers,” which includes a set of the diagrams specially printed by Nightingale just for the book." (RJ Andrews, 2020).
