7th New York State Militia, Camp Cameron, D.C., 1861 021 (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This sepia albumen photograph records the men of the 7th New York State Militia posed before a canvas tent at Camp Cameron, the temporary encampment outside Washington, D.C., in 1861.

Visual Elements & Composition

Warm sepia tones dominate the frame, with cream highlights along the pale border and charcoal shadows deepening the folds of the tent and the men's uniforms. The rectangular photograph is set off by that light margin, and a rectangular sign hangs within the scene, lettered with fragments such as "BOULEVARD," "DE," "KEMP," and "8." Four men in military-style dress stand and sit in a loose group, one in a kepi and striped shirt, another seated with a small cup, and a third in a kepi beside an enamel basin. The striped pattern of the shirt and the tent's canvas give the composition its quiet rhythm.

Meaning & Symbolism

The 7th Regiment was one of the early volunteer units called into federal service after the outbreak of the Civil War, and Camp Cameron was where such regiments trained and organised before being sent to active campaigns. The picture captures ordinary camp life at that moment of preparation: washing up, resting, keeping the day's business in order, all while the capital was being defended. It is a document of a nation still gathering its strength, before the scale of the conflict became clear.

Made for Slow Mornings

A photograph this quiet suits a mug, because it is meant to be lifted, turned and studied over a long cup. The sign, the basin and the men's faces come round as the mug is held, so each sip brings another detail into view. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes their history with a warm drink in hand.

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.
