icft Posted June 1, 2023 #1126 Share Posted June 1, 2023 57 minutes ago, Stallion said: I actually have a small collection of Venetian masks which I frame. Each mask has a different meaning and history. Here is what I found about your mask. Probably aren't going to be a chick magnet DOTTORE PESTE OR PLAGUE DOCTOR A half-mask with a ghoulishly exaggerated nose, Dottore Peste differs from the Scaramouch in that its nose is conventionally not only wider but also curved downwards like beak, and whereas the latter mask covers the cheekbones, the Plague Doctor only covers the forehead. Its name and peculiar form originates from the 16th Century and the unusual practices of a French physician by the name of Charles de Lorme, who would wear a full face mask with a hollow beak while treating plague sufferers.The Doctor is the local aristocrat, and/or doctor of medicine or law or anything else he claims to know about, which is most things. Extremely rich, he adores food and good wines, thus he is a little round. He is typically depicted as an elderly man who only knows nonsense. He makes many cruel jokes about the opposite sex and believes that he knows everything about everything. So, just an average guy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted June 1, 2023 Author #1139 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Gibraltar is not an island. It’s linked to Spain Family Evacuation monument - WWII - women and children left then came back 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted June 1, 2023 Author #1140 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Gibraltar has been a very popular place due to its location. It was conquered by the Moops. The Great Britain had it. The French and Spanish tried to take it during the American Revolution. Then Germany wanted it in WWII. Then I believe Spain tried to take it one more time. Or that may have been before WWII. Edited June 1, 2023 by Saint Greg 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
