The Ferry at Blue Lakes Postcard
The Ferry at Blue Lakes was one in a series of designs. The Historic Watercolors Project required the interns to select regional photographs of historic interest. The students then scanned the images into Adobe Photoshop. Then the images were cleaned and colorized. The final step in the creation required the students to give the new digital photographs a watercolor look. The finished images were then taken and made into postcards that could fold open and the message written inside. The students then marketed the postcards to a variety of locations as a fund-raiser. Below is the caption from this postcard.

"The Ferry at Blue Lakes" depicts the method of choice for crossing the Snake River between Jerome and Twin Falls counties in southern Idaho around 1910. This image is one of a series created in part by student interns at Spirit of Tomorrow in Jerome Idaho. - Copyright 1996.
