          Cyprian Godebski is remembered for having won the contest for the Adam Mickiewicz Monument in Kraków.

          Godebski, however, was commissioned for his equally revered Mickiewicz monument in Warsaw, erected 10 years later on Krakowskie Przedmieście, for which he was awarded 50,000 rubles by the committee to Erect the Adam Mickiewicz Monument (Społeczny Komitet Budowy Pomnika).

          The Warsaw statue was destroyed by German Nazis in 1942
