Check this file in the DWELLINGS section of my Stefan's Florilegium:
tent-dsguises-msg (23K) 9/23/98 Ideas for disguising modern tents.
There are also these two pictures. I don't think they are on the website,
but I can send them by email if you wish:
dometents-pic (3K) 9/21/94 German Landsknecht camp, painted 1500-1550.
featuring dome tents.
For future referance, a period tent can be made less expensive than you
might first think. For some ideas on this take a look at these other
files in the same section:
