4.1 Plague doctors A picture of a plague doctor can be seen on page 16 (Appendix 4) Plague doctors were also known as Beak doctors. They were not all qualified doctors many of them were physicians.

A wide-brimmed black hat was worn close to the head. At the time, a wide-brimmed black hat would have been identified a person as a doctor, much the same as how nowadays a hat may identify chefs, soldiers, and workers. The wide-brimmed hat may have also been used as partial shielding from infection. (Grand Gallimaufry homepage: http://sylvaansuz.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/the-plague-doctors-garb/)
