Assasination Of President Lincoln, George A. Atzerolt I.E. Atzerodt, One Of The Conspirators (U.S. Civil War) Black Coffee Mug

This design is a 19th-century photographic portrait of George A. Atzerodt, one of the conspirators in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is an albumen-style photograph printed in warm sepia and dark brown, with a pale grey border framing the rectangle. The sepia tones fill about half the image, so the whole piece reads as one muted, monochrome tableau. A seated man in a tweed jacket and bow tie dominates the frame, and a bearded man in a three-quarter pose appears beside him. Nothing competes for attention: there is no added text, colour accent or decoration, only the figures and the grey edge around them.

Meaning & Symbolism

Atzerodt was assigned to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson on the same night that John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in April 1865. He lost his nerve, and his role in the wider plot placed him among those tried in the military commission that followed. The photograph carries the weight of that record. Its sepia cast and formal, posed style belong to the period of the trial, and the somber mood reflects how the nation approached the events of 1865. The piece honours the historical record rather than dramatising it, which is why it works as a document of the era.

On the Black Mug

A mug is turned in the hand, so the portrait wraps around the curve and reveals itself in pieces as you rotate it. The sepia figures sit against the black base, giving the photograph the look of a plate held in shadow. It makes a sharp, thoughtful companion for a morning coffee or an evening pot of tea, and a conversation starter for anyone who reads American history over breakfast.

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.

These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.

They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.

  • Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
  • Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
  • Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.

These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.

  1. Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
  2. Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
  3. Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.

Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.

These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.

Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.

Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.

Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
