Comments:
In 1920 Caroline Armington made two etchings of the Wilbur Wright monument in Le Mans (CA-230 and CA-231).
CA-230 is reproduced in the Newspaper.
Notes for these etchings in Caroline Armington Etching Record Book do not refer to the French government for commissioning these two etchings. In addition, they mention that the plates were destroyed after 30 prints for CA-230 (28 prints for CA-231) and that most of the prints were destroyed in 1930.
Therefore, it can be assumed that Caroline Armington was not commissioned by the French government for these etchings or that this commission did not materialize.
