Plague doctor, 17th century
The beak doctor costume worn by plague doctors had a wide brimmed leather hood to indicate their profession. They used wooden canes to point out areas needing attention, to examine patients without touching them, to keep people away, and to remove clothing from plague victims without having to touch them. The mask had glass openings for the eyes and a curved beak shaped like that of a bird. The mask had two small nose holes and was a type of respirator which contained aromatic items; dried flowers, herbs, spices, camphor or a vinegar sponge. Doctors believed the herbs would counter the smells of the plague and prevent them from becoming infected.
