(b Paris, 3 Sept 1837; d Paris, 26 Sept 1880). French etcher, illustrator and watercolourist. He received his early training from his father, Albert Jacquemart (1808–75), an amateur artist, botanical illustrator, collector and author. From the outset he distinguished himself with illustrations of various objets d’art. His earliest recorded work is an etching of 1859 showing a selection of Japanese and Chinese artefacts, and with Philippe Burty, Henri Fantin-Latour and Félix Bracquemond, among others, he formed a society to study and promote Japanese culture (see JAPONISME). Also in 1859 he entered into an association with the Gazette des beaux-arts that lasted for most of his career. To this periodical he contributed plates illustrating the extraordinary range of objects owned by such notable collectors as Charles, Duc de Morny, Victor, Duc de Luynes, and members of the Rothschild family, as well as those found in the Louvre. In these etchings he proved remarkably adept at rendering reflections and varying textures and colours.
