EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous print titled "The Salesman" captures the essence of a travelling salesman in the early 20th century. Created by August Hutaf, this colour litho artwork is a satirical cartoon that offers a scathing satire on salesmanship. In the image, we see a well-dressed salesman with his luggage and suitcase, ready to conquer new markets. He wears a pinstripe suit, complete with a bowler hat and walking stick, exuding confidence and professionalism. However, what sets this artwork apart is its playful touch - as hot air balloons float above him carrying various jokes and poems related to salesmen. The artist's clever use of caricature adds an element of humor to the scene. The exaggerated features and comical expressions on the salesman's face make it clear that this artwork intends to poke fun at the profession while also highlighting its challenges. "The Salesman" postcard serves as both entertainment and commentary on marketing strategies employed by these traveling salesmen. It showcases their determination amidst tough competition while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously in our pursuit of success. This vintage piece from Bridgeman Images captures an era when wit was used as an effective tool for communication. A true gem for collectors or anyone who appreciates art that combines satire with creativity!
