62- CAPE GAZETTE' Friday, Jan. i9-Jan. 25, 2001
Cape Region students exhibit
at Delmarva's Ward Museum
By John McDonald
Special to Cape Gazette
On Thursday a week ago I was
invited to an awards ceremony,
which included a number of Cape
Region students, on Jan. ! 1 at the
Ward Museum in Salisbury Md. I
am embarrassed to tell you that I
had never been to visit before. I
have, however, known of the
Ward Brothers for about 25 years.
They are probably the best known
decoy carvers and painters in the
world and they come from our
very own Delmarva Peninsula.
The building in which their col-
lection is housed is a lovely work
of architecture and is worth the
trip to Salisbury itself. It contains
one of the most remarkable col-
lections I have seen. Let me start
by saying that I am not an expert
in this field by any stretch, but I
do think I can recognize true tal-
ent in this area of creativity, hav-
ing failed to produce anything
carved of ice or butter that looked
even close to real. This building is
filled with carvings so exact that
they appear to be taxidermy. In
fact, one of the cases contains an
exhibit of real feathers and carved
ones, side by side and I'll warrant
you will not be able to distinguish
between them.
The museum is quite large. I
would compare its size, for the lo-
cals, to the Rusty Rudder or Fish-
erman's Wharf or a little larger. It
is filled with many bird carvings,
representing from early American
The Mallard Drake decoy by Homer Lawrence and Sarah
Raffe, left, and Flying Pintail by Lem Ward are just two of the
wide variety of wildfowl art on display at the Ward Museum
in Salisbury, Md., where students from the Cape Region re-
cently exhibited their work.
Indian to the present. They are floors. The museum holds an an-
tastefully displayed in well light- nual carving contest which is re-
ed cases in frescoed rooms with puted to be the world's most fa-
