Dumb: A journey through time and cultures, from the wise 3 Wise Monkeys of Japan to a bear waiter serving with grace. In the 1800s, sign language using a single hand was an art form that spoke volumes. The Training Ship Exmouth taught discipline through the dumb bell drill. Terry's exerciser for men in 1939 promised strength and vitality. Unloading ships at London Docks in 1908 required brute force but no words were needed. The Blue Cross Fund Poster reminded us of our duty towards our dumb friends. Our Dumb Friends League encouraged compassion for all creatures great and small. Dumb Luck smiled upon the sporting gal and her horse as they triumphed against all odds. A strong man at a fair showcased his might without uttering a word, leaving spectators awestruck. Lillah McCarthy captivated audiences with her silent performances, proving that silence can be truly golden.
