Plague mask drawing

Bubonic Plague was one of the darkest points in human history and a very fascinating subject. One of my favorite (weird to say regards to the topic) aspects were the plague doctor masks. The reason for the long "beak" was to put scented objects to help combat the smell of death in the places they had to frequent.

Birds of plague - ballpoint cross hatch I loved this one - my son was a 'plague doctor' for halloween. We loved the 'bird beak' mask.
