Female Style
The most famous depiction of the plague itself are the outfits worn by the doctors who treated its victims in the 17th century.
Their outfits were made up of a waxed fabric overcoat, a pouch of medicines on their belt, and a mask with glass eye openings that also had a beak shaped nose.
Similar to the idea of a gas mask, the nose was often stuffed with herbs, straw, and spices to protect the doctor from breathing in the "bad air" that afflicted their patients.
