Inside Decoys from Shelburne Museum

Samuel Barnes (1857-1926)

Samuel Barnes carved solid body decoys in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Perhaps best known for the swans he made, including one in Shelburne Museum's collection, Barnes also produced canvas back ducks, red-heads, black ducks, and coots (Engers, 2000, p.139). Another swan decoy made by Barnes is in the collection of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland (Sullivan, 2003. p. 146).
