I think these images would be perfectly adorable on a get-well-soon card or on a tea towel for a friend graduating from nursing school. What would you make with them?

This is my favorite image of all — a historical piece that shows the different styles of nurses’ caps from different hospitals around the country during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
