EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a milk vendor among the Anabaptist community of Basel, Switzerland during the 16th century. Anabaptists were a radical Protestant sect who rejected the established Church and embraced adult baptism. The woman in the image wears traditional mourning clothes, signifying her grief over the persecution of her faith. The Anabaptist movement emerged in the late 1520s and spread throughout Europe, including Switzerland. In Basel, they faced intense opposition from both the Catholic and Calvinist forces, leading to numerous trials and executions. The milk vendor is shown wearing a simple, practical outfit, reflecting the modest lifestyle of the Anabaptist community. Her head is covered with a white kerchief, and she carries a large wooden pail on her back, filled with fresh milk. In her right hand, she holds a small jug, ready to pour milk for a customer. Behind her, a Calvinist priest is shown laying his hands on a man who is kneeling on a cushion. The scene suggests a contrast between the two religious groups, with the Anabaptist woman representing the rejection of the established Church and the Calvinist priest symbolizing the dominant religious authority. The engraving is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1837. The detailed and accurate depiction of the Anabaptist milk vendor offers a glimpse into the daily life of this persecuted community, providing valuable historical and cultural insights.
