Jules-Ferdinand Jacquemart (French, 1837-1880) was an etcher, illustrator and watercolourist. His father Albert Jacquemart was also an artist, although an amateur one. He illustrated botanical books, and was also a collector and an author. Jacquemart made his name reproducing in etchings contemporary and old master paintings, and from 1859 until the end of his career he regularly contributed plates to the Gazette des beaux-arts. See British Museum 2006,U.1324.
