An old picture portraying three people. One of them is whistling, the other two are chattering. Text says: Loud talking or whistling not allowed

Loud talking or whistling not allowed.

These are images from the beginning of the 20^th century. They were used in silent films to explain the viewers which would be the social behaviour expected during the screening.

We spotted this whilst walking by ufunk‘s.
