1st Lieutenant August Bitter, Union Officer In The 24th Illinois Regiment, Full-Length Portrait, Standing, Facing Front (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A full-length black-and-white portrait of a Union officer standing square to the camera, a sword at his side and a kepi cap on his head.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is set in greys, with near-black dominating the dark frock coat and the white of the highlights picking out the figure. The officer stands upright and fills most of the arched-top frame, his face and posture facing front. The sword hangs along one side, a strong diagonal against the dark coat. The rectangular photographic mount surrounds the arched portrait, giving the whole card a formal, even structure.

Meaning & Symbolism

The portrait shows August Bitter, a first lieutenant of the 24th Illinois Infantry, a regiment also known as the First Hecker Jäger Regiment and made up largely of German-speaking volunteers from the Chicago area. The officer's uniform and sword stand for his rank and for the professional command structure that grew within the volunteer units. The portrait records the path of a German-American soldier who rose from the ranks to lead.

Standing Tall on this Pint Glass

A pint glass rises as a tall, curved wall, so a full-length figure suits its shape and stands up the length of the glass. As the glass is turned, the officer shifts across its surface, sword and coat moving with the curve. The grey and black tones read cleanly through the clear glass, and the figure holds its upright stance from every angle at the table.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
