Mr. Wallace served as Director of Commerce Bank, President of the St. Louis Zoo Friends Board, and was charitable to numerous organizations he believed in. Behind every great man is a better woman, and his wife Lee was renowned for being the glue of the family while she warmly served as Director of Development for local educational institutions and made an impact with her lasting spirit. The couple’s art collection ranges in style and period and spans a broad price-point.

THE WARD PEREGRINE FALCONLemuel
THE WARD PEREGRINE FALCONLemuel T. Ward (1896-1984)
Crisfield, MD, 1969
24 1/2 in. tall
"Occasionally, a work of art appears that is a great leap beyond anything that has come before it. To American Wildfowl Art, Lem Ward's Peregrine Falcon was such a leap. This is the first known wildfowl sculpture of this quality depicting such interaction between a bird and its surroundings... Lem worked on this bird for several years." -Glenn Lawson and Ida Ward
This singular sculpture by Lem depicts a peregrine with a captured bobwhite quail hen in its talons. The combination of Lem's detailed refinement and the depiction of a dramatic interaction place this as a landmark work in the cannon of American bird carving.
Dr. Kramer was aware of the importance of this work and had Norris Pratt build a custom crate. This allowed it to remain in excellent condition through multiple public exhibitions. The base is signed, titled, and dated.
The falcon is believed to be the only one known to be carved by Lem. The only other Ward quail known is a preening cock which can be found as lot 67 in this sale.
Original paint with light wear and some craquelure on right shoulder.
Provenance: Dr. Morton D. Kramer Collection, acquired from the artist
Literature: Glenn Lawson and Ida Ward Linton, "The Story of Lem Ward," Exton, PA 1984, pp. 56-57, exact carving illustrated and discussed.

THE WARD BOBWHITE QUAILLemuel T.
THE WARD BOBWHITE QUAILLemuel T. Ward (1896-1984)
Crisfield, MD, 1966
8 1/2 in. tall, 8 in. wide
This carving of a preening bobwhite quail is unique and may be the only standing quail done by the Wards. It is part of his premier decorative "Sunbathing" series of titled birds which includes some of his finest.
The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art in Salisbury, Maryland, held the only other known quail by Lem. However, that quail is an accessory to one of the greatest and most innovative early American bird of prey carvings ever executed, as it is held limp in the talons of a peregrine falcon (lot 64).
The rarity of refined early bobwhite carvings by any maker cannot be overstated. Indeed, among the leading decoy makers only Elmer Crowell's few quail notably preceded this work. They are among the Cape Codder's most sought-after carvings, yet none of Crowell's are known to be in a preening position.
The carving is mounted on a fourteen-inch-long driftwood base. The side of the base is signed and titled "Sunbathing L.T. WARD 1966."
Excellent original paint with light wear.
Provenance: Dr. Morton D. Kramer Collection, acquired from the maker
