An edition of "Prairie Wings" by Edgar M. Queeny, published by Ducks Unlimited in 1946 accompanies the lot.
In 1946, Edgar Queeny published "Prairie Wings" through Ducks Unlimited. It is now one of the most important books on waterfowl ever written. He studied the landing patterns of birds over Wingmead, his 14,000 acre property in Arkansas, which had three named green tree reservoirs: Wingmead, Paddlefoot, and Greenwood. Queeny was an active patron of Bishop's and partnered with the artist for the many illustrations throughout the book, including the color frontispiece.
Queeny wrote, “Dick’s paintings and etchings of wildfowl are outstanding because he is not only a superb artist but a topnotch engineer! As a result of his engineering training and his understanding of aerodynamics, mechanics of flight and the anatomy of birds came as second nature to him…the results are portraits of birds as they really fly!”
Bishop’s original drawings and Queeny’s photographs from "Prairie Wings" were donated by Thomas K. Figge to the John L. Wehle Gallery of Sporting Art at the Genesee Country Village & Museum in 1986, where they remain in the permanent collection.
This famous frontispiece for "Prairie Wings" comes from the collection of Joseph N. Pew Jr., the Sun Oil heir, philanthropist, and avid sportsman. He hunted and fished in Nova Scotia, started the Pew Charitable Trusts, and likely encountered Edgar M. Queeny in New York’s Links Club, where both were members.
