New England decoys, by John and Shirley Delph
The best carvers of New England are featured in the Delph's latest book on antique decoys
Over 250 photographs provide excellent coverage of the handmade ducks of Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, and Massachusetts
Here the emphasis is on the lives and works of the top carvers in the Northeast such as Elmer Crowell, Joseph Lincoln, Henry Keyes Chadwick, Gus Wilson, George Boyd, Albert Laing, Benjamin Holmes, and "Shang" Wheeler. Many ducks and shorebirds by talented unknown makers are also included
The photographs and text give a vivid picture of hunting in New England during the lifetimes of these early carvers
The use of live duck decoys and gunning clubs, and the need for various types of decoys is discussed
