The leaflet "Program of the Brücke Artists' Group" includes another vignette, here in two different printing states. Kirchner cut the woodcut again, a landscape scene with a bridge over a body of water in the distance, which he frames with the group's lettering. The motif with the group's name is clearly highlighted here and is suitable for printing on a flyleaf, for example. Thus, the artists used this woodcut for the first issues of their "Program", a printed folding card. [MvL]
