A Texas Journey: The Centennial Photographs of Polly Smith

A Texas JourneyBy Evelyn Barker ; published by the Dallas Historical Society, 2008.

A Texas Journey In 1935, Texas was preparing for its biggest celebration to date: a world's fair to commemorate the centennial of its independence from Mexico. Centennial officials eager to publicize the event needed an abundance of photographic images that would put the state in the best possible light. They hired a young photographer, Polly Smith, who had recently returned from studying in New York, to travel the length and width of the state. Her mission was to capture the people and places that made Texas unique.
