Concealing-coloration in the animal kingdom is a 1909 natural history treatise by Gerald and Abbott H. Thayer, published in New York by the Macmillan Company, setting out their study of animal camouflage for naturalists and general readers. The four plates are photographs of plants, a ptarmigan in snow, a snake on the ground, and a moth on rock, showing how patterned and coloured animals blend into their surroundings and offering designers examples of camouflage through matched texture and tone.
