In 1851, Georges Diebolt sculpted "La France rémunératrice" (Remunerative France), a colossal female figure wearing and distributing wreaths, for an award ceremony on the Champs-Élysées, which was held for the French industrialists who had been distinguished at the London Great Exhibition. A small size bronze reduction was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1855, and is now displayed at the Musée d'Orsay.
