The original bust of Arthur Rimbaud in the Place de la gare in Charleville-Mézières was placed there by Rimbaud's brother-in-law Paterne Berrichon (Pierre-Eugène Dufour), the poet, painter and sculptor. It was destroyed in World War I. In 1927 Alphonse Colle replaced the bust, although it too was melted down during the Vichy régime. The third bust by Dumont, seen here and modelled on Colle's, replaced the second bust in 1954.
