Complete reproduction of the film report by H. Schomburgk, Berlin, on his exploring expedition to the North of Togo in the year 1914. The film, made in 1913 and 1914, presents ethnographic documents recorded chiefly in the North of Togo. A great part of the film was taken among the Kotokoli: market scenes, cotton-harvest, spinning, men weaving on the treadle loom and women weaving on the vertical loom, selling of the fabrics, games, basketry, making of hip bands from palm nut shells, men fishing collectively, equestrian games, and a visit to a traditional ruler (Uro Dyabo Bukari IV.). Market scenes recorded at Sansane-Mango show mainly the making of leather-works (Haussa), but also salt and kola trading. Childcare and the preparation of food were filmed among the Tyokossi. Very important is the iron yield and processing among the Bassari. Shooting with a bow and arrow as well as warriors (single or in groups) were recorded among the Konkomba. In the middle of the film shots taken in Liberia have been inserted: capture and transport of the dwarf hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) and some shots of a holy crocodile. As a frame scenes of expedition life have been inluded.
