Desired by the ribbon manufacturer from Saint-Étienne Pierre Deville, who bequeathed by will, in 1905, a sum for this purpose, the monument was entrusted to the sculptor Landowski and inaugurated in 1912. It celebrates the worker Jacquard, inventor at the beginning of the 19th century of the loom of the same name. Of parallelepiped form, the monument is flanked by statues and adorned with bronze plaques illustrating scenes from the life of Jacquard.
