  which is a paper co-authored by Jules Janick of Purdue.
Iconography of the Solanaceae from Antiquity to the XVIIth Century: a
Rich Source of Information on Genetic Diversity and Uses


I did some more searching and turned up this volume.  Horticultural  
Reviews, Volume 34 (2008)
  By Jules Janick. ISBN: 9780470171530  John Wiley & Sons. (It's only  
$270.)

The paper here is titled "Iconography and History of Solanacea:  
Antiquity to the 17th Century." It's 112? pages in this version.

Looks like it contains even more material. Some of it can be seen on  
Google Books.
Those with access to US Land Grant Universities with Agriculture  
Libraries may want to check out the volume in person. It seems to be  
primarily held by those institutions.

Professor Janick's work was discussed on the list back on 18 September  
2009 with regard to his work on new world plants found in the Villa  
Faresina in Rome.
