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.

Amazing value and performance — perfect everyday home printer!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
After lots of research and comparing ink costs, I finally purchased the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank with Scan and Copy and it has been one of the best tech investments I’ve made for my home setup. Whether I’m printing documents, photos, homework, or creative projects, this printer delivers consistently reliable results without the usual stress over ink costs. Right out of the box, setup was surprisingly easy. Epson’s app guided me through the wireless connection, and within minutes the printer was connected to my Wi-Fi and ready to go. The initial filling of the ink tanks took a few extra minutes, but the included bottles were clearly labeled and simple to use without mess. The print quality has exceeded my expectations for an all-in-one home printer: - Documents: Crisp, clean text — perfect for school assignments, work documents, letters, and recipes. - Photos: Bright, colorful prints with decent detail (especially when using good-quality paper). - Graphics & Crafts: I’ve printed worksheets, planner pages, labels, and even small art pieces — and everything looks sharp and vibrant. - The speed is solid for its class. It’s not a professional office machine, but it doesn’t feel slow for everyday use. Cartridge-Free Ink — Game Changer This is the real highlight: - Cartridge-free Supertank System: Instead of tiny cartridges that run out in no time, this printer uses large refillable ink tanks — which means massive savings on ink long-term. - Low Ink Cost: You really feel the savings after your first few refills. I used to go through cartridges quickly, but now I only refill every few months — and even then, it’s affordable. The included ink bottles provide a ton of pages, and you can easily track levels through the transparent tanks so you’re never caught off guard. The wireless setup works smoothly. I can print from: - My phone (via Epson app, AirPrint, or Google Cloud Print) - My laptop or tablet - Directly via Wi-Fi without cables No more plugging USB in every time — super convenient. The scanner is quick and easy to use: - Scan photos - Scan documents straight to email or phone - Make copies without touching a computer The scan quality is clear and accurate — ideal for digitizing receipts, forms, or school worksheets. Pros: - Huge savings on ink long-term - Excellent print quality for text and color graphics - Easy wireless setup and mobile printing - Transparent tanks — see ink levels at a glance - Scanner and copier work well for everyday tasks - Quiet operation compared to older printers Minor Notes - Initial setup takes a bit longer because of ink filling — but it’s worth it. - Photo prints are good for casual use, though super high-detail photography will still look better with dedicated photo printers or labs. - No automatic document feeder (ADF) — so multi-page scanning requires manual pages. The Epson EcoTank ET-2800 has transformed my printing experience. It’s affordable to run, produces great everyday prints, and the wireless features make it super convenient for the entire household. If you’re looking for a home printer that won’t drain your budget on ink, this one is absolutely worth it. Whether you’re printing school documents, work files, planners, photos, or craft projects, this printer does it all with ease — and saves you money over time. Highly recommended for home use — practical, efficient, and budget-friendly!

Excellent Investment!
Color: Black, Style: ET-2800-B, Pattern Name: Printer
I have had this printer for two years now. I purchased it to do invitations and signs for my Daughter's baby shower. I designed an invitation, printed more than sixty copies with address labels, return address labels, numerous signs, games and raffles tickets. I used it again for the Baby's 1st Birthday same amount of items. I have not had to fill the colored ink in over 2 years. I have filled the black. My husband also uses it for work and I've printed several other projects including pictures. Everything has always exceeded my expectations. For the price you get excellent quality. I find the software easy to use and update.

Don't wait. Just get the press.
Color: Purple
Incredibly easy to use. Heats up perfectly and I love the auto press. I wish I would have invested in this sooner.

Small, light and works SO well! I'm floored!!!
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I am floored by this heat press! I have a more expensive brand but it's so large and heavy. I wanted something that was portable enough to take to craft shows. I thought, what the heck, worst thing is I send it back. Thank is NOT happening! HTVRONT brings it again! This press is SO light. I was worried about it easily sliding around. NOPE, they put suction cup feet on the bottom! The top handle folds back for ease of use, so you can postion your hat any way you like. It has the standard pull bar to pull the hat snug onto the press. Once you bring the top forward the bottom platen then raises up to press the hat against the top platen (when you push "play" to start the pressing. It doesn't do it untiol you want it to.) I was able to press the stanrd area of the front, but also was easily able to press the bill and the side of the hat as well. It came with two platens which is very nice as well. It also heats up quickly. Initially, the top took a bit of force to push backwards, but it loosened up very quickly. This is SO small and light as well. You can store it just about anywhere. It's not much bigger than a loaf of bread. I am THRILLED!
