At his death, Louis-Émile Beauregard willed his collection of 66 pieces to his children. While he was alive, he had always declared that he didn't want the objects to be separated from one another. Using the words of her father, Nicole Beauregard, succeeded in convincing one of her brothers to keep the collection together, not selling the items separately. They decided to give their father`s collection to the municipality of Dudswell under certain conditions, one of which was on keeping the collection in Marbleton, the village in which Louis-Émile was born and grew old. Two sculptures were kept by the Beauregard children, Nicole and Yvan. These were the Blacksmith, the very first embossed sculpture, and the Knitter. Thus the L'Association touristique et culturelle de Dudswell (ATCD) was mandated to display the Collection of Louis-Émile-Beauregard, which is to be seen today at the Maison de la Culture in Dudswell.

Thanks to Nicole, we are able to see this work of a beloved local artist, Louis-Émile Beauregard in Marbleton. There are a total of 64 embossed pieces in the Collection. Nicole worked at the Maison de la culture for two years from the occasion of the arrival of the Collection there. She was, and still is, the vital link between the ATCD and her father's work. Thus we find a piece of herself in her father's work, for she helped him take measurements and photographs of the objects to be reproduced. She also served as a model to test the reality of his movements of the figures' clothes, she accompanied him to numerous exhibitions in which he took part, and she was his greatest moral and physical support in the realization of his Collection.
