In the 17th century, the plague became the biggest threat to everyone’s life. It spread widely and the death of people increased rapidly. In that deadly environment, the first mask was made by a doctor who identified the plague. The mask was big and looked like a long beak. In front of that, there was one small hole in front of that beaked face mask for easy breathing. Later on, the mask evolved in a small cloth that will cover the mouth and nose only. In 1918 Spanish flu erupted, in that period again the mask became famous and everyone wore it. From the 17th century to 1918, masks changed drastically and the importance of it also became known.
