The photograph, which shows Ernst Egeler (saxophone) and Clemens Röseler (trombone) on the roof of the Bauhaus, shot from below, was used for an advertising card for the Bauhaus band and was accompanied by the following text: "wie sie sehen: wir überleben alle stürme. wir spielen unsere musik, einen hei - in - die - knochenfahrenden rythmus! [sic!] der schlägt ein! sie müssen uns hören - sie denken an uns! für ihre feste die bauhauskapelle" ("as you can see: we survive all storms. we play our music, an infectious rhythm. that hits! you must hear us - you'll think of us! the bauhauskapelle for your festivities"). (cf. Jeannine Fiedler (ed.), op. cit. p. 225)
