Jan Krejci's tinted lithograph, titled *Miss America* and dated 1976, reads as a satirical cartoon rather than a portrait of a pageant winner. Its catalog tracings point to a mix of targets, including women, gun control, presidents, Native Americans, and car accidents, though these subject terms come from an old caption card and have not been verified. The 1976 date falls in the United States bicentennial year, when public debate about national symbols was intense, and the Miss America pageant, a long-running fixture of American popular culture, was a familiar subject for editorial humor.
