As a tape , a collection of graphic works is referred to the storage and presentation purposes to the empty pages of a book with paste were fixed. The leaves were thus protected from damage and loss. From the 16th to the 18th century in Europe, combining the sheets in adhesive tape was a not uncommon method of preserving extensive collections of drawn and printed individual sheets, some of which were cut out from other works. Since gluing in itself could also lead to damage, the laying of the sheets on loose cardboard became popular in the 17th century.

The remaining adhesive tapes are mostly part of public collections or libraries today. They are the subject of scientific research, especially in the fields of art history and history .

Description and meaning

The individual sheets contained in the adhesive tapes are mainly copperplate engravings , etchings , woodcuts and hand drawings that were created between the 15th and 18th centuries. Wealthy art collectors, such as Prince Maximilian Willibald von Waldburg-Wolfegg , had the valuable individual sheets grouped together in large-format books with leather-bound covers. In addition to portraits of important personalities and cityscapes , excerpts from printed works with texts and images were inserted into the adhesive tapes.

Some adhesive tapes were taken apart again in order to be able to assign the sheets contained therein to individual artists or to be able to integrate them into various special collections. In 1930 Ernst von Frisch, the then head of the Salzburg study library, left an adhesive tape known as “Wolf-Dietrich-Klebeband Städtebilder” with 120 maps and cityscapes from the second half of the 16th century, which was given to the Salzburg Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau , expertly dismantled into individual pieces in the Albertina in Vienna by the art historian and then head of the graphic department, Joseph Meder . Numerous individual pieces of the former adhesive tape can be found today in the collection of hand drawings at the University of Salzburg .

The adhesive tapes that have been preserved are therefore now regarded as valuable, unique evidence of early modern printing and drawing art and history and as reflections of the knowledge and the imparting of knowledge of their time. Some of them have since been bought up by universities as well as public museums and libraries and are scientifically evaluated. Many adhesive tapes are now publicly accessible or available as digital copies. In the Fürstlich Waldeckschen Hofbibliothek in Bad Arolsen , Hesse , which today belongs to a foundation , there are 21 adhesive tapes. These books, known as "Arolser Adhesive Tapes", were completely digitized between 2009 and 2012 as part of a project by the University of Kassel with the support of the German Research Foundation .
