OCCUPATIONS

Many household items were sold by itinerant vendors from door to door. From them the lady of the house could purchase candles, wood, ceramic or copper candleholders, candle snuffers, and small lamps that burned rapeseed oil for heat and light. People went to bed early, often just after dark, hence little artificial light was required.

In 1566, occupations in Antwerp, one of the largest cities in northern Europe, were recorded:

169 bakers

78 butchers

91 fishmongers

110 barber-surgeons

124 goldsmiths

300 painters and sculptors

594 tailors and stocking makers
