''Wild Fowl Decoys'' is an art reference book by American collector Joel Barber, first published in 1934 by Windward House. The book has been re-printed a number of times, notably two years after Barber's death in 1952, by Dover Books. More recently, the book has been reprinted in 1989 and 2000 by Derrydale Press. This heavily illustrated book aimed to be a comprehensive guide to the carved wooden duck decoy. Used by early American waterfowl hunters, this type of decoy was promoted by the author as a form of folk art. The book is considered by art historians to be the first on the subject, and was a bible to decoy collectors throughout the 20th century. The watercolor illustrations painted by Barber for the book are in the collection of the Shelburne Museum. ==See also== *Joel Barber *Folk art *Duck hunting *Duck decoy (model) *Waterfowl decoy collecting 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wild Fowl Decoys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
