There's some backstory about big personalities: artists and biologists who advocated for this strategy, but my favorite bit is that they hired artists, mostly women, to paint model ships in a rooftop pool, to decide on dazzle patterns. This is a painting of what that looked like. Giant sea women!

Vague recollection of a comment overheard when British admirals were first shown the camouflage on a ship. One reportedly said, "I can't hit that!" Presumably the point sank in shortly after.

That would be a lovely painting for over the mantle -- if I had a mantle. Seriously, if I had a big house with high ceilings and had stupid amounts of money I would commission an artist to paint a very large reproduction of that. Where is the original?
