This 19th-century book illustration copies a 12th-century English image of a man wearing a hooded tunic. The garment's style and form can be traced back to Medieval Europe when the preferred clothing for Catholic monks included a hood called a cowl attached to a tunic or robes, [6] [7] and a chaperon or hooded cape was very commonly worn by any outdoors worker.
The costume consists of a leather hat, mask with glass eyes and a beak, stick to remove clothes of a plague victim, gloves, waxed linen robe, and boots. [ 2 ] The typical mask had glass openings for the eyes and a curved beak shaped like a bird's beak with straps that held the beak in front of the doctor's nose. [ 5 ]
