Original Note:
This is not Phillis Wheatley as she died before photography was invented and it is also obvious from her clothing that this photo is from a later date. The woman in the photo is Aina (Sarah Forbes Bonetta (later Davies)), goddaughter of queen Victoria, in 1862. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillis_Wheatley https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw86361/Sarah-Forbes-Bonetta-Sarah-Davies
