Small duct tape
The small adhesive tape is a collection of over 120 drawings from the late Gothic and Dürer periods , which are combined in a leather cover. It is considered one of the most important reference collections of German drawing art of the 14th and 15th centuries and is also the oldest surviving private German collection of drawings.
The drawings of the small adhesive tape were collected from 1650 by Maximilian Willibald von Waldburg-Wolfegg (1604–1667) and have been part of the Wolfegger Kabinett, which he founded . At the time of his death, this comprised “probably around 120,000 sheets”, including above all copperplate engravings , etchings , woodcuts and hand drawings . In the 19th century, the 120 drawings were then combined in a leather cover. In October 2011, the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and the collections and museums of the city of Augsburg jointly acquired the small adhesive tape from the Waldburg-Wolfegg family, and in December 2011 it was made available to the public for the first time as part of a special exhibition.
In addition to the drawings by German artists, the tape also contains some drawings by Italian and Dutch masters. His most important drawings include works by Hans Holbein the Elder and his Augsburg workshop, as well as an anonymous portrait of a young man from 1475, which Peter Halm once described as "the most perfect German portrait drawing before Dürer". This portrait used to be ascribed to the Tyrolean painter Michael Pacher , while today it is associated with the master of the Mornauer portrait .
