Description

A sutler or victualer is a mostly a female civilian who sells provisions to an army in the field, in camp or in quarters. The word, like numerous other naval and military terms, came into English from Dutch, where it appears as soetelaar or zoetelaar. It meant originally "one who does dirty work, a drudge, a scullion", and derives from zoetelen (to foul, sully), a word cognate with "suds" (hot soapy water), "seethe" (to boil) and "sodden". There’s also a male version, Scullion, male counterpart to Scullery maid, a servant who performed menial kitchen jobs (washing, cleaning, etc.) in large households during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Have a great fantastic day and thanks for your support and kind comments on my previous postings. Also thanks to everyone who added my work as a favorite.

Great pic! BTW, in the American Civil War, suttlers were inevitably men and sold all kinds of things from sewing supplies, bullets, guns (the kind the Army wasn't issuing, which were quite a few), knives, 'backy, etc.
