A facsimile of the practical manual, discussing the necessity for camouflage. “Officially approved by the War Office” in 1941 and written by Roland Penrose. In 1941, Roland Penrose became a game changer when The War Office published this Home Guard Manual. Penrose shows how to accomplish seemingly impossible visual deceptions: While Penrose, a keen naturalist, drew on influences in the natural world, his Surrealist passion for mimicry is apparent throughout the book. Patterns, textures, shading: all these artistic devices now took on serious military currency.
