At the Universal Exhibition of 1867 in Paris, JUMEAU company received a silver medal with a "special mention for the head of the dolls". It was also this year that the second son of the founder, Emile-Louis Jumeau, joined the company, which experienced its heyday under his leadership at the end of the 19th C.
