Wild Fowl Decoys

Wild Fowl Decoys is an art reference book by American collector Joel Barber, first published in 1934 by The 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 book was reprinted not long after the author's death in 1952.
