The 18 by 24 inch,, 272 page folio =titl- ed Waterfowl of North America con- tains 44 full-color signed and numbered reproductions depicting the most com- mon ducks, geese and swans found in North America. As well, several preliminary pencil sketches by each ar- tist will be reproduced. The Duke of Edinburgh, a world renowned and respected conservationist has written the forward for the book.

From England i are contributors and Elizabeth Gray; Keith Shackleton. Richard Weatherly is a much praised artist from Australlia whose works are now being sought in Canada and the United States.. Besides art content, the market value of the book will rest upon the limited printing run. Only 1,250 editions will be produced along with a further 50 Artist Proof editions to be given to con- tributing artists and special patrons. The printer is Buckingham Fine •Art of Willowdale, Ontario, a firm which has reproduced the works of some of Canada's finest outdoor artists. Orders can be placed through the Ducks Unlimited Canada head office at 1190 Waverly Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Price of the folio until the end of June is $1,550 Canadian. After June 30 the price rises to $2,050. Delivery is scheduled for early 1988. Co-ordinator for the folio project, Richard Trethewey of Maple Ridge, British Columbia says that the idea for a folio of waterfowl art was inspired by a viewing of the large "double elephant" folio produced for famous American naturalist James Audubon. That book was compiled in the 1830's. "Audubon's folio which originally sold for $1,000 is now worth an estimated $1.3-million,"Trethewey says, "and is still an exceptionally beautiful creation of both artist and printer." Waterfowl of North America is an even more complex compendium than the Audubon inspiration, Trethewey believes, since it contains such a wide array of art from so many well regard- ed artists dispersed across three continents. "Simply ensuring that all the •com- mon species of ducks, geese and swans in North America were represented and that each artist has been comfortable in handling the subject species assigned has .required a good deal of manage- ment. Each of the 30 artists also has to be assured that the quality of reproduc- tion meets his or her particular high standards." • Ducks Unlimited Canada will be celebrating its golden anniversary in 1988 through a number of special events on both national and local community levels. The organization began opera- tion in 1938 as the only private group in Canada dedicated solely to the im- provement and development of wetlands habitat. Money provided by about 55,000 Canadian contributors and 550,000 American contributors is spent directly on constructing water control works on marshes across the country. In their fund raising efforts, both the Canadian and Arnerican sectors of Ducks Unlimited have frequently turn- ed to the wildlife art community. Mutually beneficial arrangements have been established with artists who have donated works to be sold at over 4,000 Ducks Unlimited functions held during a year. In return artists gains national exposure for their work. Last week's scores: May 5 Norholme 2, Meiners 7; Lawries 9, Dynamos 10. May 7 Merners 3, Lawries 5; Dynamos 15, Vik- ings 3.
