EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact from the 17th century - the Plague Doctor Clothes Uniform Dress. During this era, the bubonic plague ravaged Europe, and these unique garments were worn by doctors in an attempt to protect themselves from contracting the deadly disease. The beak-like mask was a distinctive feature of their attire and served a practical purpose. It was filled with herbs or other substances believed to ward off harmful miasmas that were thought to carry the plague. The engraving by Paul Furst beautifully captures the essence of this hauntingly fascinating piece of history. This archival image takes us back in time, offering a glimpse into an era plagued by epidemics and desperate attempts at protection. As we reflect on this vintage illustration, it serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience in times of crisis. Despite limited medical knowledge and resources, individuals throughout history have always sought ways to safeguard themselves against devastating diseases. Ken Welsh's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details of this period costume but also its symbolic significance within our collective memory. This picture is more than just an old drawing; it represents our ongoing quest for safety and survival amidst adversity.
