Above This is the cover of the printed sheet music for a World War I-era song titled
The Camouflage March (1918). The words and music are by Horace B. Blan (a New York attorney). There is an online version of the original at the Library of Congress website
here that can be downloaded as a public domain pdf. We would reprint the lyrics were they not so poorly written.
Note the dedication to the employees of the Standard Shipbuilding Corporation. Not surprisingly, in the background at the bottom is a drawing of a
dazzle-camouflaged merchant ship.

Below A hypothetical
dazzle-camouflage plan, in the style of Spanish painter
Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923).
