At the center of that story is Miles Standish. To survive, the Pilgrim fathers made a morally difficult choice: they relied on a professional soldier—an outsider to their faith—to protect their families and their future.

This likeness is one of six portraits Salem merchant Timothy Orne ordered from Boston painter Joseph Badger in 1756 and 1757 to display the prosperity of his household. Orne’s wealth came from a fleet of more than fifty vessels trading fish, grain, molasses, rum, textiles … and at times enslaved people …through the Atlantic world as the same maritime system that nourished his fortune also trafficked in human bondage. The portrait thus records not only young Rebecca’s refinement but the hidden labor of African and Indigenous people whose dispossession and forced work underwrote Salem’s elegance. A ghostly-pale girl stands before a warm, neutral background with her dark hair drawn back and her gaze steady and self-possessed. She wears a rose-colored silk dress with pale blue-gray ruffles that frame her neck and sleeves while the sheen of the fabric is painted in thin, careful layers. In her right hand clings a soft gray pet squirrel, probably an elite colonial child’s companion, signaling gentility and leisure. Her body is turned slightly to the our left, so that the oval of her face becomes the focus. Nothing around her tells of labor or landscape; this is a portrait of status, youth, and belonging in mid-18th-century New England. As an adult, Rebecca married Salem captain and merchant Joseph Cabot in 1768, keeping her within the same shipping-and-slavery-entangled network her father built. Charlestown-born, Badger was originally a house-painter and largely self-taught. He had, by the 1750s, become one of Boston’s “go-to” portraitists for merchants who could not yet command the wildly popular John Singleton Copley. Badger’s methodical underpainting, gray preparatory tones, and frontal poses suited clients who wanted restraint, good taste, and recognizable likenesses. In giving Rebecca a fashionable squirrel, he joined a small colonial trend using an animal to signal both affection and control over nature.
