7th New York State Militia, Camp Cameron, D.C., 1861 028 (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This is a sepia albumen photograph of the 7th New York State Militia, taken during their encampment at Camp Cameron in Washington, D.C., in May 1861.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia dominates the image, with warm brown tones taking up most of the frame, lifted by cream highlights and deep charcoal shadows. A pale border frames the rectangular photograph, like a print kept in an album. Stone steps climb toward a pillared building, and an iron railing runs along the porch. Uniformed men fill the scene, some standing in a large group and others seated on the front steps. An officer in a kepi with a sash stands out among them, and bearded men in civilian and military dress mix into the crowd. Small numerals, 43 and B906, appear in the photograph and anchor it as an archival record.

Meaning & Symbolism

The 7th New York was among the first volunteer regiments called into federal service by President Abraham Lincoln, and this image shows that mobilization at its earliest stage. Camp Cameron sat on the Meridian Hill area of Georgetown Heights, where troops gathered to defend the capital as the Civil War began. The mix of civilian coats and military uniforms records the moment when local neighborhood companies were becoming a organized Union army. Within months these men would move on to construction work at Fort Runyon, so the photograph captures a short, pivotal stretch of the war.

Turning the Mug in Hand

A mug is held and turned, so the picture moves past the eye one slice at a time. The cream border sits against the white ground of the mug, making the photograph read like a page pulled from an old album. As the mug rotates, the rows of men and the pillared facade pass by in sequence, which suits a group portrait built around a line of figures. It is a quiet piece of history for a morning cup, and a conversation starter for anyone who sees it on the desk.

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.
