A contribution to the origin of masks
Abstract The masks, of proven efficacy from the 19th century (antisepsis-asepsis), have been updated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 1897, the surgeon Jan Mikulicz (1850-1905) was the creator of surgical masks, by demonstrating the theory of infection by drops of saliva (Flügge). However, there are «pre-scientific» precedents that we know mainly through engravings (17th century) and paintings (18th century). We present a work by the Baroque painter Michel Serre (1658-1773), where people are seen wearing masks during the great plague of Marseille in 1720.
