About This Vintage Postcard
Witness the massive scale of early 20th-century engineering with this vibrant linen-era postcard. The print captures the impressive concrete spillway of the dam on the Snake River. Completed in 1927, the dam was a landmark project for the Bureau of Reclamation, impounding 1,700,000 acre feet of water to supply irrigation for over 300,000 acres of farmland. This view showcases the structure rising 86 feet above the old river bed, rendered with the saturated colors and textured finish that define mid-century American lithography.
