Happy Birthday, Pepys.

Hayls, Samuel Pepys, 1666


Samuel Pepys was born on this day in 1633.

And it is a wonder what will be the fashion after the plague is done as to periwigs, for nobody will dare to buy any haire for fear of the infection - that it had been cut off the heads of people dead of the plague. 

Samuel Pepys, Diary entry, 3 September 1665
