Carl/Carlos Nebel (1805-1855), was a German/Swiss engineer, architect and draughtsman. He was a resident of Mexico from 1829 until 1834 and is noted for his renowned illustrated work on that country - Voyage pittoresque et archéologique dans la partie la plus intéressante du Méxique published in Paris in 1836, and with an introduction written by Alexander Humboldt.
Nebel’s illustrations were enhanced by his making use of the newest printing developments in France. The images were drawn on stone by Adolphe-Jean-Baptiste Bayot and the printing done by Joseph Lemercier - a leading lithographic team of the time.[1]
