Henry Clay and the New York Medal Affair
Henry Clay, in February 1852, received a large medal from New York friends and offered a playful appraisal of his own nose and facial expressions. He recalled John Randolph’s unintended compliment about predicting his stance in debates. The medal was later stolen between Washington and New York from a caretaker, prompting a costly facsimile remake by the original donors.
