The Kleiner Klebeband ("little glued binder") is a collection of over 120 drawings from the 15th and 16th century, which were combined into a leathern binder in the 19th century. It considered as one of the most important reference collections of German art drawings from that period.[1][2]
Maximilian Willibald of Waldburg-Wolfegg (1604–1667) started to collect the drawings of the Kleiner Klebeband from 1650 until his death. They were part of a much larger art collection, the Wolfegg cabinet, that he founded. They were drawn on loose sheets, but in the 19th century they were assembled into a leathern binder. In fall 2011 the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz wnd museums of the city of Augsburg bought them from the family Waldburg-Wolfegg and in December of the same year they were shown to the public for the first time in a special exhibition.[1][2]
The Kleiner Klebeband contains drawings by German artists and a few works of Dutch and Italian masters as well. Among its best known drawings are works by Hans Holbein the Elder and his workshop and a portrait of young man from 1475 attributed to the Master of the Mornauer Portrait. The latter was described by the artist and academic Peter Halm as the "most perfect German drawing before Dürer".[3]

Master of the Housebook and Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet are two names used for an engraver and painter working in South Germany in the last quarter of the 15th century. He is apparently the first artist to use drypoint, a form of engraving, for all of his prints. The first name derives from his book of drawings with watercolour, called the Medieval Housebook, which belonged to the German noble family of Waldburg-Wolfegg from the 17th century until 2008, when they were reported to have sold it for €20 million to a Swiss buyer; however, the legality of its sale for export has been challenged and, for the moment, it remains with the family. In 1999, the book was lent to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., for an exhibition. The majority of his surviving prints are in the print room at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, hence his second name. Most, but not all, art historians still agree that the Housebook and the prints are by the same artist.
