Description: Huntsman and dogs by Henri Alfred Marie Jacquemart c.1879 Many castings of this work were made. It is variously known as Valet au chiens, Huntsman and dogs and Huntsman and hounds. This version is located in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney (March 2014). Other versions include: Huntsman and dogs at the Forest Glade Gardens, Mt Macedon, Victoria, Australia, c.1879 Hunter and hounds at Beverly Gardens Park, Beverly Hills, California, USA, date unknown. Originally at Château-Thierry, France. It was installed in Beverly Hills, USA in 1925 on Armistice Day to commemorate Mr. Longyear's, a local resident, son who was killed in the Battle of Château-Thierry (1918). The inscribed plaque misspells Jacquemart's name and confuses his birth and death dates. The sculpture was later donated to the City of Beverly Hills and relocated to the park. Huntsman and dogs at the Elswout Estate, Overveen, Netherlands.
