Fermat's Library
In the 18th century, it was fashionable for men of an intellectual bent to have their portraits painted while wearing banyans and turban-like caps. They believed "loose dresses contribute to the easy and vigorous exercise of the faculties of the mind". Here's Euler's portrait.

I always wondered that about this portrait. Here's another example with English mathematician Brook Taylor:

Nevertheless, men of a non-intellectual bent such as this young man of Cossack heritage prefer a tighter headpiece to reflect refinement and style. The man on the right has adopted a similar hat which can actually improve cogitation.

Euler's defense against the "freethinkers" of his day was awesome. It should be widely read.

For some reason this reminds me of a guy in the UK who wrote about his experience with self-trepanation, and talked about it in an open & alarmingly cheerful way. "I started by taking 200mg of LSD..."
