Plague Doctor origin:
In the 17th century, a famous French doctor, Charles de L'Orme, perfected the plague doctor mask, giving it the look we recognize today.
It was, in fact, a mask with a purpose. It was actually worn by doctors and physicians as a medical uniform, under the supposition it would have protected them from disease when they visited people infected. The theory was that it would isolate the physician and prevent direct contact with the bodies of plague victims.
The full outfit, which covered the plague doctor from head to foot, consisted of an outer garment tightly enclosed around the mask.
The plague doctor mask covered the physician's face in the shape of an oval with two open round holes located in the eyes.
