Nebel was among the early European visitors to the archaeological site of El Tajin. He sojourned to Mexico between 1829 and 1834, recording numerous ancient ruins and published an account accompanied by 50 hand-colored lithographs in the illustrated text, "Viaje pintoresco y arqueolĂ³gico sobre la parte mĂ¡s interesante de la RepĂºblica Mejicana" (Picturesque and Archeological Voyage Over the Most Intriguing Part of the Mexican Republic) (c. 1836-39). His oeuvre demonstrated remarkable documentary accuracy as well as artistic idealization - truly visual poetry. Emile Lasalle was an accomplished artist in his own right who exhibited at the Salons between 1834 and 1869.
