17th New York Battery Artillery Depot, (Camp Barry) Near Washington, D.C. (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This sepia albumen-style photograph shows a working Union military camp near Washington, D.C., where the 17th New York Battery trained its artillery crews during the American Civil War.

Visual Elements & Composition

The scene unfolds across a horizontal composition, and sepia tones dominate the frame, with pale cream highlights lifting the brightest areas. Dark brown and olive grey deepen the shadows, while black picks out the sharpest edges. Mounted cavalry and soldiers on horseback fill the middle ground, artillery cannons on caissons move through the review, and a military encampment of tents sits further back. Horses and riders give the image its sense of motion and order.

Meaning & Symbolism

Camp Barry was a major Union Army artillery training and logistics camp. New units were organised, equipped and drilled there before they marched to active field duty, so the photograph records a stage of the war that rarely makes the history books. The 17th New York Battery was one of the specialised units stationed at the installation to prepare for campaigns across Virginia, Maryland and other vital theatres. The cannons, caissons and tents stand for the ammunition storage, artillery maintenance and tactical instruction that turned civilian recruits into crews capable of manning heavy guns, and that work held up the defence of the national capital.

Read It Turn by Turn

A mug is turned in the hand, so this panorama reveals itself one slice at a time: cavalry first, then the guns, then the tents on the horizon. It makes a warm conversation piece for a history buff who has read every regimental roster, and a sharp introduction for anyone who has never heard of Camp Barry. Either way, the image rewards slow looking over a hot drink, which is exactly how a mug is meant to be used.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
