- Abstract
The article focuses on the relationship between human smell and the historical past through what the authors call, "Whiffstory." The authors use a portrait of the Ulm patrician Helena Schermar in the Museum Ulm, attempt to recreate the Early Modern scent of her white leather gloves, and use this as an olfactory interpretation.
