DescriptionIn
1971, Wendy Watriss and Fred Baldwin began a decade-long documentation of the
Hill Country of Central Texas. These three young beauty queens suggest a
society caught in transition; they are awkwardly poised not only between youth
and adulthood, but also between local culture and national stereotypes.

ProvenanceClinton T. Willour, Houston; given to MFAH, 1993.
