The first two annual bonuses of the years 1906 and 1907 were delivered to the members in one. Fritz Bleyl created a folder of thin cardboard with a printed signet for this purpose, in which the graphic works could be stored. The members also received a list of the first six graphics: a woodcut by each Bleyl, Heckel and Kirchner for the years 1906 and 1907, Amiet contributed a woodcut, Nolde an etching and Schmidt Rottluff a lithograph.
