Salesman. This screenprint is the second print in the Trademark Series. The Maori tiki is and always has been a powerful New Zealand icon. It has been used in many of our manufactured products over the last century and into the 21^st century.

As in most other trademark images, the artist of this design is unknown. These designs were hand drawn by artists with pencil, pen, brush and ink. The artists themselves largely remained anonymous working either as employees of advertising companies or within the manufacturing company itself.

This screen print was the trademark of the Tiki Leather and Imitation Leather Goods Company, Wellington, 1945.
