Asquith Charteris Cynthia Newly Survivor Titanic Veil
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the youthful beauty and elegance of Lady Cynthia Asquith (nee Charteris) following her marriage to the renowned British politician, Herbert Asquith, in 1910. The image, taken during the Edwardian era, shows Cynthia wearing a delicate veil and holding a fashionable hat, exuding an air of refinement and grace. Born in 1887, Cynthia was a prolific author and an intriguing figure in British history. Her most notable claim to fame, however, came from her survival of the tragic sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Cynthia, who was traveling with her mother and sister, managed to board a lifeboat just in time, leaving behind her husband, who was unable to join her due to his political commitments. The Titanic disaster marked a turning point in Cynthia's life, and she later wrote about her experiences in her book "Lady Alone," which was published in 1914. The book provided a firsthand account of the disaster and became a bestseller, cementing Cynthia's place in history. Despite the tragedy, Cynthia went on to live a long and productive life, continuing her writing career and becoming a prominent figure in British society. This photograph, taken just a few years after her harrowing experience, serves as a poignant reminder of her resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
