The plague doctor's attire refers to the garments worn by doctors who were dedicated to healing patients during the epidemic period in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries.
During this period people believed in the ability of the mask to purify the air, over time it is understood that the mask was not enough as a mode of protection.


The suit consisted of a thick waxed cloth tunic, a mask with holes in glass lenses, and a conical beak-shaped nose, which was filled with aromatics and straw.


This clothing in was invented by the French physician Charles de Lorme in 1630; it was first used in Paris and then the use spread to the rest of Europe


The dress was used until the 18th century. Its use gradually disappears because people related the mask directly to death. retailer
