The Doctor’s Robe

The nose of the sinister costume was supposed to act as a filter, being filled with materials imbued with perfumes and alleged disinfectants.

The lenses were supposed to protect the eyes from the miasmas. Illustration from Historiarum anatomicarum medicarum (1661), by Thomas Bartholin.
