Benediction is the title of this view of a religious service at Camp Molloy in Mattituck, on the North Fork of Long Island, in New York State. The caption card lists the subject under "Camp meetings," a term for the outdoor revival gatherings that drew families to rural grounds each summer for prayer, preaching, and fellowship. The record dates the print to the 1920s, though that date is marked as uncertain. It belongs to the Wittemann Collection, a group of photographs of places and events in New York that the Library of Congress holds.
