<b>SEM (Georges Goursat, 1863-1934)</b> <p> <b>537. Album: Tourney Printemps.</b> 1897.
11 x 15 1/8 in./28 x 38.5 cm
Regardless of his marvelous poster output, Sem is most remembered as an astute caricaturist, able to tweak the vanity of the his subjects without creating a backlash; actually, his work inspired quite the opposite effect. And his talents are displayed to marvelous effect in the Tourny Printemps, the monthly Bordeaux magazine. Featuring a humorous equestrian cover by Caran d’Ache, the real treasures lie within in the form of two wonderful Sem pochoirs. The first, a two-page spread titled "Une Partie de Lawn-Tennis” (shown here), captures the flurried civility of the sport’s earlier days. The other, titled "Le Cirque d’Amateurs ‡ Bordeaux” spreads itself over four amazing pages, highlighting the exploits of that city’s amateur performers who just happen to be this edition’s feature story. An additional bonus: the pair of black-and-white Sem designs lending their visceral insight to fencing and racing.
