A wonderful collection of fine decoys and calls from the Great
Lakes region, shown in over 1100 color photographs, along with
original vintage black and white photos, extensive related
literature, and a price guide. For centuries the massive watershed
system of lakes and rivers in the Great Lakes region has beckoned
hunters and fishermen to its teeming waters and forests. To aid
them in their hunt they have produced a wealth of fowl and fish
decoys and calls. Over the years these practical tools have come to
be appreciated as beautiful examples of folk art. They now sit on
display in museums and private collections around the country. Here
is a great selection of these fine decoys and calls, accompanied by
the stories of those who created and used them. The pieces
illustrated range from the finest museum-quality artifacts to
collectibles that are more likely to turn up at a local auction,
garage sale, flea market, or antique mall. The seasoned collector
will appreciate viewing quality pieces from private collections
that are rarely available to the public. An extensive bibliography
and appendix provide valuable sources for information,
organizations, periodicals, and auction companies to add to one's
collecting experience.
