I have some 1940s NYC department store window display pieces that are just 8x10 photos with no text. As they were in the window, there would have been the merchandise and perhaps text ads with them. The department store's name is stamped on the backs.
Movie still photos displayed throughout the theater to promote the film often had no text. As they were displayed amongst the posters and lobby cards and were in the theater where they movie was to be shown, everything didn't need the name of the movie on it.
