The folio Atlas with brilliant plates depicting natives, customs and the architecture of Mexico must be regarded as one of the most beautiful books ever published about a Western Hemisphere county. German born Nebel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Nebel travelled to Mexico from 1829 to 1934. So impressive are these prints they are frequently produced to illustrate California rancho era (Except that was beneath the image)
