French artist Georges Goursat (Sem) pencil signed, dated (1900)& titled

I found 2 of these at my friend's thrift store today. When I showed him he said he must have missed them because he had someone coming to pay him $50 each for the ones he had.
I agreed to give him 1 back & he sold me the other for $40.
I've seen prints by Sem before, but never pencil signed & dated (1900!) And the title written in pencil.
Could the art be an original/pencil or pen drawn, or is it a reg. Print?
It has a sticker in the lower corner & a tag hanging from a string on the back that looks like this might have been in a auction?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

 

Color lithograph

No title, and no sig+date

I can't tell, but he no doubt made preliminary drawings.

This tells where the litho was published and gives a size of the print.

That's not to say yours is a print. I think that, even at that date, reproductions could be made with photolithography, especially of black and white drawings, but a photolithograph does require a subject image to photograph. A size comparison might be telling. Subtle tonal gradations were where that technique broke down. It looks to me (and I could be wrong) that he avoided such gradations there.

You need to show it to someone who could determine if it is by hand.

A couple close details might help someone else in expressing an opinion.

 

That litho has 'Polozof' (with one f?) as title

while

looks more like Pairlozoff/Painlozoff/Pawlozoff

 

It's certainly possible the litho appeared in more than one publication, but the question remains as to the originality of yours, which I do not know.
