!!!Wiener Musterbuch

Wiener Musterbuch (in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna), 56 white 
and red tinted pen-and-ink drawings on greenish paper attached to 
folding wooden plates (each 9.5 cm high and 9 cm wide) in a leather 
cover, originated in Bohemia or Austria 1410-1420; it was used by a 
travelling artist as a collection of patterns. Its depictions 
(including 39 portraits and half-length portraits as well as animals 
and fabulous creatures) show Bohemian, French and Italian influences 
and give an impression of the abundance of forms of the  International 
Style.
