This print captures a truly ingenious device from the depths of World War One history - "How to Hoodwink the Zeppelins." In 1914, as roving Zeppelins threatened London's skies, a creative solution was devised: umbrellas in the shape of various animals.

The image showcases a variety of animal-shaped umbrellas, each meticulously crafted to mimic creatures such as birds, elephants, and even mythical beasts. The attention to detail is remarkable, with intricate designs and lifelike features that would surely confuse any passing Zeppelin.
