Barbara Cartland Novelist Polly Romantic
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the radiant smile and timeless elegance of Polly Cartland (1876-1955) at the momentous occasion of her engagement to the Hon. Charles Mentzel Reeve in 1900. Polly, the mother of the renowned romantic novelist Barbara Cartland, was a woman of extraordinary beauty and charm, whose life was filled with love, loss, and historical intrigue. Born into a prominent Edwardian family, Polly's life was marked by grand social events, high society, and the expectations of the time. However, her story was far from ordinary. She married Charles Reeve in 1897 and together they had three children, including Barbara, who would go on to become one of the most prolific and successful romantic novelists in history. Polly's life was not without tragedy, as she was widowed in 1916, leaving her to raise her children as a single mother. Despite the challenges, she remained a strong and supportive figure in Barbara's life, instilling in her a love of literature and a belief in the power of romance. This photograph, taken during Polly's engagement, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of grandeur and romance. Polly's elegant gown, intricate lace veil, and the dapper attire of her fiancé, all contribute to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds this image. The tender expression on her face and the twinkle in her eye speak to her joy and excitement for the future. As we look at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and literary legacy of the Cartland family, and the enduring power of love and romance in our lives.
