Decoys 2010 Calendar: North American Carving Masterpieces

by C. John Sullivan

Product Description A handsome new calendar, Decoys is the consummate gift for outdoorsmen and collectors, exhibiting a year of rare and beautifully carved antique decoys. Representing regions across North America?eiders from New England, a green-winged teal from Michigan, Chesapeake Bay brants and mallards, plovers from the Pacific Northwest, canvasbacks from the marshes of Louisiana?these are the finest examples of a quintessential American folk art, every one a true "floating sculpture." Each decoy is photographed up close and in rich detail, and is accompanied by in-depth information about provenance, the artist, and what makes it so distinctive and beautiful. About the Author C. John Sullivan is the supervisor of assessments for Harford County, Maryland, and the author of numerous articles about the Chesapeake region. A widely recognized expert on decoys, he has served as a consultant to the Maryland Historical Society, the Ward Museum of Waterfowl Art, the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum, and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
