Decoys Calendar 2010 [Calendar]

C. John Sullivan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 30, 2009

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.

The calendar turned out to be smaller than I expected. But it is still a decent size wall calendar for office use. It has an envelope cover - can be a great gift.
