  Archibald Fountain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Archibald Fountain, widely regarded as the finest public fountain in Australia, is located in Hyde Park, in central Sydney, New South Wales.
Archibald specified that it must be designed by a French artist, both because of his great love of French culture and to commemorate the association of Australia and France in First World War.

 J.F. Archibald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
J.F. Archibald (1856-1919), Australian journalist and publisher, was co-owner and editor of the Sydney Bulletin during the days of its greatest influence in Australian politics and literary life.
After working as a journalist, public servant and miner in Victoria and Queensland, Archibald arrived in Sydney in 1878, where he formed a partnership with John Haynes and William McLeod, and in January 1880 they launched The Bulletin as a weekly paper of political, business and literary news.
In his will, he made the two bequests by which he is best remembered by the general public: funds for the Archibald Fountain in Sydney's Hyde Park, which he specified must be designed by a French sculptor, and the Archibald Prize for portraiture, now Australia's most prestigious art prize.
