This stunning Oval Portrait Medallion is of Revolutionary War British Major General Sir Henry Clinton. It features a brown color transfer print, half length image of Clinton in uniform, wearing a British military gorget with "Gen. Clinton" in a banner below. Measuring 3" x 2.25" this piece undoubtedly was made in England, enclosed in a simple tin frame with loop. There are some hairline cracks in the porcelain, most of which do not go through to the other side. Otherwise this medallion is in excellent condition that is excellent for display. A rare, impressive and handsome example of a medallion celebrating British heroes of the Revolutionary War. Sir Henry Clinton (c. 1738-1795) was a British military officer and General during the Revolutionary War. Born in Newfoundland, Canada, he was an officer in the New York militia and saw service in the French and Indian Wars.
