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

This design is a black and white photograph of a quiet patch of woodland near Atlanta, Georgia, the exact spot 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 its palette runs entirely through greys, with mid grey taking up most of the frame, followed by near-black and light grey. Tall, slender tree trunks rise through dense foliage, and the eye is pulled to the abandoned spoked wheels of a gun carriage resting on the forest floor. Scattered debris and cloth lie around them, and a small paper label pinned to a tree adds the only touch of human marking in the scene.

Meaning & Symbolism

The photograph works as a documentary record of place. McPherson commanded the Army of the Tennessee, and his death during the fighting around Atlanta marked a serious loss for the Union. The gun carriage speaks to the machinery of the engagement, while the stillness of the woods and the worn debris suggest what remained once the fighting had passed. The label on the tree points to the site being identified and preserved, so that the date and location endure beyond the day itself.

Cradled in the Hand, Turned Slowly

A mug is held and turned in the hand, so the design wraps around the object rather than facing the viewer head on. As the cup turns, the wheels, the foliage and the single pinned label pass in sequence, giving the scene a slow, deliberate reading. It is a fitting pairing for a quiet morning, when a cup of coffee gives you time to look closely at a piece of history.

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.
