"Salesman: Masters of Persuasion and Distrust" In the world of commerce, the salesman is an enigmatic figure, capable of both captivating charm and dubious intentions. From an anti-Nixon poster in 1960, questioning whether one would trust this man to sell them a used car, to Chapman's depiction in "The Cries and Habits of the City of London, " these individuals have long been subject to scrutiny. "The Real Estate Game. Home Truths" captures their relentless pursuit for profit, navigating through a maze of properties with promises that may or may not hold true. Meanwhile, the allure of consumerism shines brightly in the vibrant glow of a red neon rose advertisement from 1968 - a symbol enticing us to buy into their persuasive tactics. But not all salesmen operate within grand establishments; some can be found on humble streets like Petticoat Lane market or Thessaloniki's poultry and vegetable markets. Their carpet bags filled with wares evoke images reminiscent of silent film stills featuring Wallace Beery as George Ades Gaby Drummer - men who carry their livelihoods wherever they go. From Tbilisi's Mercer selling grapes to shoppers judging artistic effect before making purchases depicted by W Heath Robinson in his whimsical artwork - these snapshots reveal how salesmen are embedded within various cultures and industries throughout history. Even back in 1809 when shopping for fabric was an art form itself, buyers had to navigate through countless choices presented by persuasive sellers. The question remains: Can we truly trust those who seek our patronage? Or are we forever destined to approach every transaction with skepticism? Whether you find yourself face-to-face with a slick-talking salesman or perusing advertisements that promise everything under the sun, remember that behind every pitch lies human nature's eternal dance between persuasion and distrust.
