Through the annals of history, the intriguing act has captivated the human imagination. From the elegant Lady Snuff Takers of the 1800s, as depicted in a lithograph, to the vibrant oil painting "A Pinch of Snuff," this ancient custom has left an indelible mark on art and culture. In the Tauromaquia, Plate 31, we find snuff-taking integrated into the thrilling world of bullfighting, with banderillas adorned with firecrackers. Saints George and Michael, in an engraving, seem to share a secret as they subtly indulge in the pleasures of snuff. Phra the Phoenician's wonderful adventures, as illustrated in an engraving, may include a snuff-taking episode, adding to the fantastical tales. In the natural world, the pronghorn antelope bucks of Grand Tetons National Park display territorial behavior, resembling a powerful snort. Hippos in Malawi's Liwonde National Park spray water in a snort-like manner, creating a mesmerizing scene. Even in the mundane, the act can be found in the quirky tradition of three men sharing a wooden horse on a Christmas card. The intrigue surrounding snorting continues to intrigue, as evidenced by Matters of Taste No. 4, a print made by W & J O Clerk in the 1830s. This captivating history transcends time and culture, inviting us to ponder the simple yet profound pleasure it brings to those who partake.
