The Plague Doctor
The plague doctor costume originated in 17th-century Europe as a practical protective garment worn by physicians treating bubonic plague patients. The long beak was filled with aromatic herbs and flowers believed to ward off disease through miasma theory — the idea that illness spread through bad air. The round glass goggle lenses protected the eyes. The full-length waxed coat, wide-brimmed hat, and gloves completed the ensemble. The figure became synonymous with death and disease and has since passed into the visual vocabulary of horror, steampunk, and dark fantasy — one of the most immediately recognisable silhouettes in costume design.

A: No — this mask is made from 100% natural latex. It is not suitable for individuals with a latex allergy or sensitivity.

- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or compressing the beak which may cause creasing.
