Atlanta, Georgia (Vicinity). Spot In Woods Where Gen. James B. Mcpherson Was Killed, July 22, 1864-2 (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This black and white photograph records a quiet patch of woodland near Atlanta, Georgia, where Union General James B. McPherson fell on July 22, 1864.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is near-square and framed by a thin border, and it is built almost entirely from greys, from deep charcoal shadow to pale, washed-out light. Tall, slender tree trunks rise through dense foliage that closes in around the edges, pulling the eye toward the middle of the clearing. The most striking detail is the abandoned gun carriage, its wooden-spoked wheels sitting in the undergrowth. Scattered debris covers the forest floor, and a small handwritten paper label pinned to a tree is the only written note in the scene. The label gives the picture its quiet, documentary character.

Meaning & Symbolism

McPherson commanded the Army of the Tennessee and was the highest-ranking Union officer killed in the Atlanta campaign. His death came during the fighting around Atlanta in the summer of 1864, when the city was the prize of the war in the Deep South. The photograph takes its meaning from that date and place rather than from any dramatic action. The abandoned wheels and the scattered debris speak of a battlefield that has returned to woodland, and the handwritten label marks the spot for those who come looking for it. The picture is about memory, and about how a specific patch of ground can hold a single day in the war.

Turning the Story in Your Hand

A mug is a object you turn while you drink, so the scene is revealed slowly, one stretch of woodland at a time, rather than all at once. The tall trunks and the grey tones wrap naturally around the curve of the cup, and the label on its tree becomes a small point of focus each time the mug is lifted. It suits a reader of local and military history who likes a little context with their morning coffee, and it keeps a precise, historical moment within easy reach of 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.
