Printed on the photograph are the words, "Madras Toddyman Climbing a Tree." The accompanying caption reads, "A man climbing to the top of a date palm tree. The sap of this tree is used to make an alcoholic drink." A man with a jug and another container strapped to his side climbs up a tree. Another man does the same thing in the background. This photograph is from an album prepared by W. K. Norton of The Pilgrims Mission, Benares [Vārānasi].
