520 The illegitimate daughter of a captain in the Royal Navy
and an enslaved African woman, Dido Belle was sent to live
with her great-uncle, the Earl of Mansfield, one of the
most powerful men of the time and a leading opponent of
slavery. Growing up in his lavish estate, Dido was raised
as a sister and companion to her white cousin, Elizabeth.
When a joint portrait of the girls, commissioned by
Mansfield, was unveiled, eighteenth-century England was
shocked to see a black woman and white woman depicted as
equals.
