Nebel / 1836 / (Mexico - Color Lithograph) Plaza Mayor de Guanajuato. (Mexico 1, 107713) Original lithograph on 19th-century wove paper, with hand-color, heightened with gum arabic Some small worm holes (mainly in the sky area to the left of one of the church towers, and in lower blank marginal area). Minor soiling (mostly in the right-hand margin). Otherwise very good with nice original color. Scarce Early Color Lithograph of Guanajuato A beautiful early 19th-century color lithograph of the Mexican city of Guanajuato by the German artist Carl Nebel. This view comes from the very rare plate book: Voyage pittoresque et arch ologique dans la partie la plus int ressante du M xique, published in Paris in 1836. Nebel's Voyage pittoresque. was praised by his countryman, Alexander von Humboldt: "I am very pleased to be able to offer Mr. Nebel a public acknowledgment of the esteem deserved by such arduous and important work. The work, executed in Paris under the direction of the author, encompasses both ancient and modern architecture. [including] views of the main cities of the Mexican confederation." Mining Center Known for Colonial Architecture Guanajuato, a city nestled in the mountains of Mexico's central Baj o region, is renowned for its rich history and striking beauty. Originally founded in the 16th century as a hub for silver mining, Guanajuato played a crucial role in New Spain's economy, producing nearly a third of the world's silver by the 18th century. Guanajuato was a focal point of Mexico's War of Independence, with key events like the Siege of the Alh ndiga de Granaditas in 1810. By the mid-19th century, the city remained a significant center of political and cultural activity. Its stunning colonial architecture, colorful hillside homes, and labyrinthine streets reflect its Spanish heritage and mining wealth, making it not only a historic but also a visually captivating city that continues to draw admiration for its preserved beauty and historical legacy.
