1876réf. 94796Nice: D. Boistier & Fleuedelys Editeur. 1876. First editions of these attractive souvenirs featuring spirited renderings of the carnival procession at Nice in 1876. Both were clearly taken on the spot Giordano's perhaps being the more sophisticated and featuring identifications of some of the floats. These include the Floats of the Beetles and of the Rabbits the Float of Cosmography and the Float of the Kitchen turned Upside-down la Cuisine Renversée with a group of animals feasting on human flesh with a chef hanging in the meat-safe all of which feature in both panoramas. Details of both artists are elusive: neither is listed in Thiemme-Becker or Vollmer and Sem is often confused with the later and better-known caricaturist Georges Goursat who would have been just 13 at the time of publication. Frederick Sem seems to have made some sort of career as an artist-illustrator based in London catering to literary and theatrical circles Blake. Fragile and consequently highly ephemeral these panoramas offer an appealing evocation of the beginnings of the modern carnival in Nice. We locate the Bibliothèque nationale Française copy only of the first-named; the second is unrecorded. Both landscape octavo. Folding lithographic panorama to each 720 and 880 mm long respectively. Original pictorial paper wrappers. A little used a few minor chips and splits misfolds to the panoramas but overall very good.

Affaire Bola-Pacha: 68 Croquis d'Audience par Sem. Paris: S.n. c. 1918. 68 lithographic images on 24 sheets and a sheet of captions all 12-1/2" x 10" 31.75 x 25.4 cm in a printed wrapper housed in a printed folder. From a signed edition of 300 on Arches paper this number 283. Light soiling and edgewear to outer folder a few minor tears along fold lines short minor tear to spine of inner folder light stain to caption sheet plates fine. $1750. From a signed edition of 300 on Arches paper this number 283. This rare portfolio captures the high-stakes courtroom drama of Paul Bolo a French financier turned traitor. Bolo orchestrated a massive anti-war propaganda campaign in France using $2.5 million in German funds-funneled through the Egyptian Khedive Abbas Hilmi. After the plot was unmasked Bolo who had adopted the title "Bolo Pasha" was convicted of treason and executed by firing squad in April 1918. Across 68 masterful lithographic sketches the renowned caricaturist Sem Georges Goursat documents the tension of the proceedings. His sharp economical lines bring to life the judge the defiant defendant and the parade of witnesses. While Sem is best known for his whimsical depictions of the Belle Epoque elite this work demonstrates his keen eye for the psychological weight of a national crisis. Georges Goursat better known as Sem was the premier social chronicler of his age. A regular contributor to France's leading periodicals his work remains highly esteemed today for its ability to capture the essence of the French ruling class with equal parts wit and precision. unknown

The French artist Sem Georges Goursat 1863-1934 built his reputation in Paris on his caricatures of prominent public figures. Born in Périgueux Sem worked in Bordeaux and Marseille before traveling to Paris for the 1900 Universal Exposition. The first work he published in the city was Le Turf a print album of instantly recognisable personalities at the racecourse. He began selling the album on the day of the prestigious Grand Prix race at Longchamp and his deft ability to capture the essence of his subjects made him a success. Even the people he caricatured in Le Turf wanted a copy and it quickly sold out. Sem revisited the subject of his first Parisian success in the Sem au Bois scroll. He drew the fashionable elite of France and their laughable hangers-on en route to Longchamp. The races were social events where central members of society were expected to put in an appearance. Sem adopted this obligatory parade down the Bois de Boulogne as an opportunity to gently mock the celebrities of his day caricaturing members of the aristocracy artists politicians and socialites. Although the individuals were not identified in the chromolithograph a weekly newspaper L'Illustration published a complete list of names in its October 5 1907 issue. The names have also been penciled in on the Gorman Rare Art Book Collection's copy of the scroll possibly by a previous owner who transferred the list from L'Illustration. Rare album conceived by Sem in collaboration with Auguste Roubille featuring a procession of carriages automobiles and other means of locomotion on which are represented the main personalities of the high society of the time such as King Leopold the Duke of Brissac the Prince of Arenberg the Baron and Baroness of Rothschild etc. as well as personalities from the literary and artistic world such as Henri Rochefort Polaire Mademoiselle Othero Willy Colette Robert de Montesquiou etc. travelling to the Bois de Boulogne horse races. At last.a copy identifying the characters. Very rare! Presumably listed by Sem who indeed features himself in the second carriage à la Hitchcock. Paris, [1908]. hardcover

1914réf. 5732Paris: Imprimerie du Succes 1914. First edition. An attractive pochoir taken from "Le vrai et le faux chic" a book of caricatures by SEM published in 1914. This copy has been signed by SEM to the bottom right in pencil. We have put an example of the published pochoir in our photos here which shows that in the book the two lines had no signature above. Now framed in a black frame under glass and passe partout border. The lithograph is in very good condition with fractional handling and marking to it. The pass partout and clean are in excellent condition. Visible area of lithograph is 38cm x 29cm. The frame is 50cm x 40. Not examined out of frame. In "Le vrai et le faux chic" SEM sketches pre-war women's fashion and denounces 'the ridiculous aspect' of false chic pioneered by innovative couturiers who 'convey their unbridled fantasy'. He contrasts this with true chic characterised by "harmonious and discreet simplicity." SEM - Georges Goursat 1863–1934 was a French caricaturist famous during the Belle Époque. As well as the caricatures which made him famous he created work in a very different style as a correspondent during World War I. His later work was very influenced by the "Jazz Age" and high society in Paris during the 1920's. . Première édition. Un joli pochoir tiré de « Le vrai et le faux chic » un recueil de caricatures de SEM publié en 1914. Cet exemplaire a été signé par SEM en bas à droite au crayon. Nous avons ajouté ici parmi nos photos un exemple du pochoir tel qu'il a été publié qui montre que dans le livre les deux lignes ne comportaient aucune signature au-dessus.

Dans « Le vrai et le faux chic » SEM esquisse la mode féminine d'avant-guerre et dénonce « l'aspect ridicule » du faux chic lancé par des couturiers novateurs qui « laissent libre cours à leur fantaisie débridée ». Il oppose à cela le vrai chic caractérisé par « une simplicité harmonieuse et discrète ». SEM – Georges Goursat 1863–1934 était un caricaturiste français célèbre à la Belle Époque. Outre les caricatures qui l'ont rendu célèbre il a créé des œuvres dans un style très différent en tant que correspondant pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Ses œuvres de la fin de sa carrière ont été fortement influencées par le « Jazz Age » et la haute société parisienne des années 1920. SEM Imprimerie du Succes unknown
