Histoire du tabac, published in Paris in 1677 by Jean Le Royer, sieur de Prade, is a French treatise on powdered tobacco, or snuff, written for readers interested in the plant and its use. The engraved plates show tobacco plants labelled in French with flowering stems, leaves and roots drawn in fine black line, a clear model for botanical illustration with precise labelling beneath each specimen.
