Les Turfistes is a notable work by the French caricaturist and illustrator Georges Goursat, who is more commonly known by his pseudonym, Sem. Renowned for his keen eye and sharp wit, Sem was a prominent figure in the Belle Époque era, capturing the essence of Parisian society through his art. Les Turfistes, which translates to "The Horse Racing Enthusiasts," is a vivid portrayal of the world of horse racing, a popular and fashionable pastime in early 20th-century France.

Sem's illustrations in Les Turfistes are characterized by their dynamic lines, expressive characters, and a humorous yet insightful depiction of the social milieu surrounding the racetracks. The work delves into the various personalities that populate the racing scene, from the affluent and stylish spectators to the jockeys, trainers, and bookmakers. Through his art, Sem offers a satirical yet affectionate commentary on the quirks and idiosyncrasies of these individuals, highlighting the excitement, drama, and sometimes the absurdity of the horse racing world.

The publication of Les Turfistes contributed to Sem's reputation as a master caricaturist and a chronicler of contemporary life. His ability to capture the spirit of the times with both humor and precision made his work highly popular and influential. Les Turfistes not only provides entertainment but also serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the cultural and social dynamics of the Belle Époque period.

Sem's legacy as an artist is marked by his distinctive style and his contributions to the visual and cultural landscape of his time. Les Turfistes remains a testament to his talent and his unique perspective on the world of horse racing and beyond.
