Who invented the first camouflage system?Where was the first camouflage system made?

According to an article I found the patterns for camouflage were invented by the French.   An artist named Lucien Victor Guirand de Scevola is creditied for creating the markings in 1918.Markings from the natural world are behind many of the camouflage effects that were first invented by the French artist Lucien Victor Guirand de Scévola in 1918. The second attempt was supposedly by the British splashing spots on Khaki uniforms.
