Summary

[edit]
Photographer
Standish Backus (1910-1989)
Description
English: "The Emperor’s Cruiser Aoba". Painting, Watercolor on Paper by Standish Backus, 1945. Framed, Dimensions 31H x 39W.
Original caption: "Near the great Kure Naval Base lies a dozen capital ships--on the bottom. When the bottom is near the surface these ships resemble tangled briar patches as torn as they are by bombs and torpedoes. Enhancing this effect are the quantities of dead branches and latticework applied in futile attempt to camouflage. Among them is Aoba."
