The West Branch camp meeting in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, is the setting of this color lithograph by W.H. Rease, which shows the inside of the gathering around 1872. Such meetings were multi-day revivals held in rural groves, where families camped on the grounds for preaching, hymn singing and prayer. The copyright notation indicates the print was registered in the early 1870s, when images of these large open-air services reached viewers far from the countryside. Study the crowd and its seating to see how the meeting was arranged.
