The artist-naturalist Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849\u20131921) used assistants, including his wife, Emma, and his son Gerald, to help illustrate his book on animal camouflage, Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom (1909). This meticulously rendered watercolor demonstrates \u201ccountershading,\u201d by which an animal such as the cottontail rabbit seems to disappear against the background of its natural habitat. Although many of Thayer\u2019s theories sparked controversy within the scientific community, some were applied to military camouflage in World War II.Object metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
