CAMOUPEDIA: USN WWI Camouflage

[Ulrich Rudofsky]

It is hard to believe how much artistic and scientific talent participated in the design of WWI dazzle camouflage. Roy Behrens, a professor of art history, wrote an extensive analytical treatise on this subject. The accidental encounter with this new book arose from a photo for sale on eBay. The photo is actually in the public domain according to the author who identified the photo in great detail: persons, place, time etc.. See discussion at http://members.boardhost.com/jacobs1250 ... 20260.html

The book is 464 page, 37 of which are references. The book is now available. An extensive preview is at

The book can ordered at the website at $30 US, $40 overseas. Mine is on order......

Addendum:

Buried in Roy R. Behrens’ “ Camoupedia” website http://www.bobolinkbooks.com/Camoupedia ... flage.html is a link to some of the larger photos of a few of the 455 camo-designs in the archives of the Rhode Island School of Design
