Abstract
Tanto las ilustraciones del Viaje pintoresco y arqueológico a la parte más interesante de México de Carl Nebel Habes (1802-1855) como las acuarelas de Adele Catherine Breton (1849-1923) participan de una misma idea programática, aunque difieren en la manera de presentarla. Ambos forman parte con todo derecho de la nómina de artistas viajeros, aunque otros nombres como los de Humboldt, Rugendas o Egerton hayan capitalizado el interés bibliográfico por este fenómeno. Llamar la atención sobre estos dos artistas, confrontar su diferente manera de enfrentarse al pasado y presente mexicanos desde las orillas de su diferente formación y condición, pero también desde tiempos muy diferentes que oscilan entre el momento post-independentista de Nebel hasta el del Porfiriato de Breton, son algunos de los objetivos que persigue este artículo.
The illustrations in the Picturesque and Archaeological Journey to the Most Interesting Part of Mexico by Carl Nebel Habes (1802-1855) and the watercolours by Adele Catherine Breton (1849-1923) share the same programmatic idea, although they differ in the way they present it. Both are rightfully part of the nominated travelling artists, although other names such as Humboldt, Rugendas or Egerton have capitalised on the bibliographical interest in this phenomenon. Some of the aims of this article are to draw attention to these two artists, to confront their different ways of confronting the Mexican past and present from the points of their different formation and condition, but also from very different times, ranging from Nebel's post-independence period to Breton's Porfiriato.
