Black Plaque Doctor Mask During the 17th Century the world was plagued by the deadliest pandemic recorded in human history known as The Black Death aka the Bubonic Plague. The Bubonic plague killed almost 70 million people in the world and with this much death happening, it’s safe to say that doctors and hospitals were overrun with patients. Modern medicine wasn’t what it was today in the 1600s and a popular theory at the time was that the plague was spread through bad Smells which is why doctors combatted this problem by wearing masks with long beak-like noses stuffed with flowers or perfume to hide the deadly smells. Pay tribute to the interesting and scary history of plague doctors and plagues this Halloween with this gothic black rubber mask.
