Military Service Cap Paintings, Canvas Prints & Photos

Military service caps make compelling subjects because their shape and small details carry an immediate sense of identity. Visors, bands, badges and braid can distinguish a rank, service or period before the wearer is even considered.

This collection focuses on artworks and photographic studies of military and emergency-service caps, including examples associated with World War II and later twentieth-century traditions in the United States, Britain and Commonwealth countries. Explore the artist’s attention to colour, surface and silhouette, and follow individual objects into deeper subject collections. You can also compare paintings with canvas prints or photographic interpretations of similar headwear.
