Sixty of the most outstanding carvers of decorative gunning decoys are featured in this deluxe presentation of their best work. Not actually used for hunting, decoys are viewed as an artistic expression of a carver's ability to transform a block of wood into a particular species of majestic wild bird. Three examples are featured per carver, including the greatest challenge for each—the drake wood duck, or the best representative of each artist's form and paint technique. This impressive array provides a glimpse into the direction of the lucrative antique decoy market, as each of these artists will undoubtedly have their works circulating among and bid upon by future collectors.
