Black and white lantern slide of a man climbing a palm tree with the help of a rope harness. A palm fruit lies at the foot of the palm tree. The palm oil and palm kernel industry was extremely important to the Calabar area, and provided income for local people (and profits for colonial traders) replacing the slave trade after the mid nineteenth century. This slide comes from a set on mission, culture and industry in Calabar, southeast Nigeria generated by the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland (which was incorporated with the Church of Scotland in 1929.)
