You probably don't think much about 'Do Not Disturb' signs at hotels, unless the maid rudely barges in as you sleep. When you look through Edoardo Flores' collection of just over 8,700 Do Not Disturb signs from 190 countries around the world, you'll find they can be quite beautiful and revelatory.
So-called 'DND signs' tell you a lot about the character and mores of the places you find them. Collectors Weekly talked to Edoardo Flores about his collection, revealing tidbits like which countries have cheap artisanal labor, which cities are lax about prostitution, and even which countries value sarcasm the most.
