Plague Doctor Costumes A Terrifying Sight ITS HISTORY

One of the most intriguing of the plague doctor images we’ve found is a painted coat of arms belonging to Theodore Zwinger III (1658–1724), a Swiss doctor and descendant of Theodore Zwinger I (1533–1588), the Swiss doctor and humanist whose Theatrum Humanae Vitae is considered, the historian Helmut Zedelmaier writes, “perhaps the most comprehensive collection of knowledge to be compiled by a single individual in the early modern period”. The painting depicts a plague doctor on one side of a blazon and a man in a ruff on the other — perhaps representing both the medical and the scholarly traditions of the Zwinger clan? Some sort of duality is being represented, at any rate — and the extraordinarily avian plague doctor (even his eyes look birdlike!) lends something mysterious to the picture. • Support the Channel by becoming a member 👉 / @itshistory • IT’S HISTORY - Weekly Tales of American Urban Decay as presented by your host Ryan Socash. • • IT'S HISTORY 🔥 Trending • » Subscribe: / @itshistory • » Support us on Patreon / blastfromthepast • » Listen podcasts: https://ffm.bio/itshistory • » CONTACT • For brands, agencies, and sponsorships: [email protected] • » SOURCES • Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license https://publicdomainreview.org/collec... • » NOTICE • Some images may be used for illustrative purposes only - always reflecting the accurate time frame and content.
