7th New York State Militia, Camp Cameron, D.C., 1861 034 (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This is a sepia albumen photograph of five soldiers resting at the entrance of a canvas tent, a documentary record of the 7th New York State Militia at Camp Cameron in Washington, D.C., in 1861.

Visual Elements & Composition

Pale sepia dominates the frame, with tan and dark brown carrying the shadows and grey-blue appearing only faintly at the edges. The scene is arranged in a landscape view: a soldier stands in the tent doorway holding the tent pole, a seated figure rests a rifle across his knees, and tin plates and cups sit on a camp table. A rectangular mount border frames the whole image, the way period photographs were presented.

Meaning & Symbolism

The photograph belongs to the weeks after the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861, when Northern states raised volunteer regiments to defend the federal capital. The 7th New York State Militia was among them, and Camp Cameron was one of the temporary encampments where such units trained and organised before entering active service. The tin plates, the rifles and the tent show ordinary military life at its start: men waiting, preparing and holding the capital for the Union.

Made for the Daily Cup

A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the scene wraps around the curve and reveals itself one frame at a time as the coffee goes down. Those soldiers resting at the tent door become a quiet morning companion, a small piece of 1861 held close to the lips. It is a gift for the history buff who starts the day with a story, and an easy conversation starter at any kitchen table.

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.
