EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, renowned French cartoonist and caricaturist, Georges Goursat, also known as Sem, is seen enjoying a day at the races at Auteuil with the elegant Madame Roxane. The image, taken in 1913, offers a fascinating glimpse into Parisian high society during the early 20th century. Sem, a member of the prestigious Salon des Humoristes and an officer of the Legion of Honour, was a celebrated figure in the Parisian art scene. His biting wit and keen observational skills made him a master of satire and caricature, offering revealing insights into the city's elite and their foibles. The photograph captures Sem in a more relaxed setting, away from his drawing board. He is dressed in a smart suit and hat, his eyes focused intently on the racecourse. Madame Roxane, dressed in a stylish hat and long coat, gazes off into the distance, her expression inscrutable. The backdrop of the Auteuil racecourse adds an air of sophistication and glamour to the scene. The grandstands, filled with well-dressed spectators, stretch out behind the pair, while the horses and jockeys race by in the foreground. This photograph is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the world of Sem and the Parisian high society of the early 20th century. It offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the city's elite, and the role that artists like Sem played in documenting and satirizing their world.
