Born in Essex Road, Islington, London in 1842, Schnebbelie's artistic journey began at an early age. One of his notable pieces is "Interior of John Bunyan's meeting house in Zoar Street, Southwark, " painted in 1822.

In another masterpiece titled "Shaftesbury House on Aldersgate Street" from 1819, we witness Schnebbelie's attention to detail as he portrays the architectural grandeur that once graced this bustling street.
