This print, issued by the Philadelphia firm Kennedy & Lucas Lithography, shows a religious revival meeting, or camp-meeting, of the early nineteenth century. It shows an enthusiastic preacher speaking from a rough wooden pulpit to an audience of both rapt worshippers and uninvolved observers. The work depicts the revival as both a religious celebration and a social gathering. The original artist is identified in the bottom left-hand corner of the print by the phrase “A. Rider pinxit.” Hugh Bridport is identified as the lithographic artist in the bottom right-hand corner with the phrase “Drawn on Stone by H. Bridport.”
