Summary
[edit]DescriptionPourtrait de l'herbe Petum ou Angoulmoisine.jpg |
English: Native Americans light rolled tobacco and smoke. Includes bows, tobacco plant, dwellings, and feathered ornament.
A similar illustration was used to illustrate how native Americans made a fire in Thevet's Les singularitez de la France Antarctique, Antwerp, 1558. It was the first illustration of anyone smoking tobacco. Here the illustration not only shows a man smoking a cigar-like roll of tobacco, it includes a man lighting a cigar and includes a tobacco plant. Thevet brought tobacco, called petum in Brazil, back with him from Brazil in 1556. Thevet, a Franciscan monk, traveled to Brazil with Nicolas Durand, chevalier de Villegagnon. He stayed only ten weeks, returning to France in 1556, and wrote Les singularitez de la France Antarctique from his own observations and those of others. As a result of the popularity of Les singularitez, Thevet received the position of cosmographer to the French court and wrote this book, an account of the known world. Title is from marginal gloss. |
