7th N.Y. State Militia, Camp Cameron, D.C., 1861 004 (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design is a sepia albumen photograph of soldiers from the 7th New York State Militia, taken at their camp near Washington, D.C., in 1861.

Visual Elements & Composition

Warm sepia tones take up most of the frame, with pale cream borders and deep brown shadows giving the image its aged, documentary look. A group of soldiers gathers before a peaked canvas tent, while a standing figure holds a rifle and a seated soldier reads a paper beside an iron stovepipe stove. The rectangular photograph with its pale border reads as a print mounted on the mug, so the picture keeps the framing of the original artifact.

Meaning & Symbolism

These images record the Union's earliest mobilization. After President Abraham Lincoln called for troops at the start of the Civil War, the 7th New York State Militia marched from New York City to help defend the capital. Known as the Silk Stocking Regiment because many members came from the city's social elite, the unit served a thirty-day term on garrison and engineer duty, including work on defensive positions such as Fort Runyon in Virginia. The photographs, held in the Library of Congress, show the men as individuals and as a group, not as distant figures of war.

Made for the Morning Cup

A mug is turned in the hand and read up close, often over several slow sips, so the soldiers and their tent sit at eye level as you hold them. The scene rewards that closer look, with the rifle, the stove and the reader each finding their place in the curve of the cup. It makes a thoughtful gift for a history lover who likes their coffee with a story attached.

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.
