Georges Goursat (1863–1934), known as Sem, was a French caricaturist famous during the Belle Époque.

Life and works
Youth (1863–1900)

Georges Goursat was born and raised in an upper-middle-class family from Périgueux. The wealth inherited from his father at the age of 21 allowed him to sustain a gilded youth.

In 1888 he self published in Périgueux his first three albums of caricatures, signing some as "SEM" (Figure, left), allegedly as a tribute to Amédée de Noé who signed his caricatures for Le Monde illustré as "Cham".

From 1890 to 1898, he settled for a few years in Bordeaux. During this period, he published more albums and his first press caricatures in La Petite Gironde [fr] and discovered the work of Leonetto Cappiello. His style matured, becoming both simpler and more precise.

During the same period, he made trips to Paris. In 1891, he designed two posters printed in the workshop of Jules Chéret (Figure, right) for the singer Paulus [fr]. He published his first caricatures of artists in L'Illustration (Albert Brasseur [fr]) and Le Rire (Paulus, Polin and Yvette Guilbert[i. 

From 1898 to 1900, he lived in Marseille. During this stay, he met Jean Lorrain who convinced him to live in Paris.

Belle Époque (1900–1914)
Goursat arrived in Paris in March 1900, at the time of the opening of the Universal Exposition.

He picked horse races[i. 3] as his way of entry in high society. In June, three months after his arrival, he self-published a new album, Le Turf, with caricatures of many prominent Parisian socialites (Marquess Boni de Castellane, Prince Trubetskoy, Count Clermont-Tonnerre, Baron Alphonse and Gustave de Rothschild, Polaire). The success of this album made him famous overnight. In October of the same year, he published another album, Paris-Trouville, with the same success. Nine others followed until 1913.

In 1904, Goursat received the Légion d'honneur. In 1909, he exhibited with the painter Auguste Roubille, first in Paris, then in Monte Carlo and London. a diorama, composed of hundreds of wooden figurines "of all the merely Paris celebrities".

World War I (1914–1918)
Aged over 50 at the start of World War I, Goursat was not drafted. He nevertheless involved himself as a war correspondent for Le Journal. Some of his rather "chauvinistic" articles had an "enormous impact". Ten were published in 1917 in Un pékin sur le front. Two others were incorporated in 1923 in another book, La Ronde de Nuit. In 1916 and 1918 Goursat published two albums of Croquis de Guerre (War sketches). Their style is completely different from his previous work. He also designed posters for war bonds.

Années Folles (1918–1934)
After the war, Goursat came back to the kind of caricatures that made him famous. In 1919, he published Le Grand Monde à l'envers (High Society upside down). Around 1923, he published 3 albums under the general title of Le Nouveau Monde (The New World). In 1923, he was made an officer of the Légion d'honneur. In 1929, he was severely impoverished by the economic crisis. After a heart attack in 1933,[28] he died in 1934.

Perfect for your Sublimation Needs
Color: BCMY
If you're into sublimation printing—whether as a hobby or a small business—the Hiipoo Sublimation Ink Refill Bottles are a must-have. This ink performs exceptionally well with a variety of Epson inkjet printers (like the WF-7710, ET-2760, ET-2720, ET-15000, C88, C88+, etc.) and delivers consistently vibrant, professional-looking results across different substrates. The color vibrancy is outstanding. Blacks are deep and rich, and the cyan, magenta, and yellow are true-to-shade. The ink produces clean, detailed images on all kinds of sublimation blanks—from mugs and T-shirts to mousepads and phone cases. Whether you’re pressing on polyester fabrics or coated surfaces, the prints come out sharp and vivid. The bottles are designed for easy refilling, especially with EcoTank models—they fit well and fill smoothly with little to no mess. For other compatible Epson models like the WF series, the process takes a bit more care, but it’s still user-friendly. This ink has worked flawlessly with heat press transfers on a variety of materials. Once heat-pressed, the colors stay strong—no bleeding, fading, or smudging.The sublimation transfers hold up very well over time. After several washes (for shirts and fabric items), the prints remain intact and bright. It’s also a plus that the ink doesn’t clog the print heads if used regularly and maintained properly. Hiipoo Sublimation Ink is a top-tier choice for both beginners and experienced crafters. It’s affordable, reliable, and produces beautiful results across a wide range of sublimation projects. Whether you’re customizing T-shirts, mugs, or phone cases, this ink brings your designs to life. Rating: 5/5 – Excellent performance, vibrant colors, and professional results. Highly recommended.

Good ink
Color: BCMY
I like this ink, it has never failed me. You do have to be careful when using it or it will make a mess. It is hard to remember which needle was used for the color, the second time they are used. Washing them out still leave a small amount of color but not so much that it will change the color.
