Hans Meyer wrote a travel report with 40 photographs about his first trip to the Kilimanjaro region. Meyer was one of the first to use photography systematically and equally along with the usual methods, such as surveying, sketches and written records to document his travels and research results. The portrait of Marealle in a deck chair is part of this book, which Meyer had dedicated to the newly crowned Kaiser Wilhelm II.
