This dataset, which informed Florence Nightingale's groundbreaking work in public health, details
monthly mortality rates from British military hospitals during the Crimean War (1854-1856).
Nightingale credits Dr. William Farr for compiling the data from the 1858 [Medical and Surgical
History of the British Army](http://resource.nlm.nih.gov/62510370R). The dataset categorizes
deaths into "zymotic" diseases (preventable infectious diseases), wounds/injuries, and other causes.
Covering the period from April 1854 to March 1856, the dataset includes monthly army strength
alongside mortality figures. Nightingale transformed this data into her now-famous [polar area
diagrams](https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:7420433$25i).
The annual mortality rates plotted in the chart can be calculated from the dataset using the formula
> (Deaths × 1000 × 12) ÷ Army Size.
As [The Lancet](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7252134/) argued in 2020, Nightingale's
innovative visualizations proved that "far more men died of disease, infection, and exposure
than in battle—a fact that shocked the British nation." Her work also vividly illustrated
the dramatic impact of sanitary reforms, particularly in reducing preventable deaths."""
