Sem (George Goursat) caricatures

I kind of like the caricatures made by the early 20th-century caricaturist Sem, whose real name was George Goursat. He made many sketches of turn-of-the-century Paris characters in settings along the then-gilded arcaded streets of Paris -- Evander Berry Wall ordering a collar for his dog at Charvet, grandees and gentlement at Edouard & Butler, O'Rossen or Sulka... To the best of my knowledge, there are no collections of his work, only single prints or lithographs. Does anyone know if there have been restrospectives or other publications of his drawings?

I have an original lithograph of his depicting Jean Lorrain in all his bejeweled feyness.
