| | 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. |
