Shown here is the sheet music cover (as well as the record label) for My Dream of the Big Parade, a rousing composition from World War I. The cover is signed by a WWI-era British artist named Starmer, probably Walter P. Starmer (1877-1961).
He was not a camouflage artist, but in the top left background of the illustration you can see that he has included a dazzle-painted British ship, not unlike the RMS Olympia.
Starmer was British, but a note at the bottom left of the sheet music cover says "Made in USA", and the music was created by Jimmy McHugh (1894-1969), a prolific American composer who devised such famous songs as I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby, and On the Sunny Side of the Street.
