'Dazzle Ship'
Dazzle camouflage, is a type of ship camouflage that was used extensively in World War I. It has been credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson.
Unlike other forms of camouflage, the intention of dazzle is not to conceal but to make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed, and heading. Norman Wilkinson explained in 1919 that he had intended dazzle primarily to mislead the enemy about a ship's course and so cause them to take up a poor firing position.
The divers in my print do look a little surprised by the large warship. Perhaps the ‘dazzle’ worked!
Free UK packing and delivery included.
*This piece can be shipped internationally at cost. This will be invoiced separately after checkout. I always try to keep this cost as reasonable as I can and it is never more than the carrier will charge me.
