Bank Of Chambersburg & Franklin House, Chambersburg, Franklin Co., Pa., Destroyed By The Rebels Under Mccausland, July 30th, 1864 (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This sepia stereograph-style record shows the ruined brick shell of a building with empty window openings, with riders, a cart and bare trees around it, a scene of aftermath rather than action.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia dominates the composition, taking up roughly half the image, with cream paper tones and deep dark brown shadows filling most of the rest. The arched window openings of the ruined brick building repeat across the frame, and the design is set within a rectangular card mount, the way a stereograph pair would have been shown. Mounted riders and a horse-drawn cart move through the scene, while bare trees mark the season and the emptiness that follows the fire.

Meaning & Symbolism

The image is a commemorative record of the destruction of two prominent landmarks in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania: the Bank of Chambersburg and the Franklin House. The date, July 30th, 1864, and the reference to forces under McCausland place the scene in the American Civil War, when the town was burned during a Confederate raid. The empty windows stand for the loss of local infrastructure, and the sepia tones give the whole piece the weight of an archive, preserving memory of a day more than a century and a half ago.

Rounding the Story Around the Cup

A mug is turned in the hand and read at close range, so the details of the ruined facade and the riders come up slowly, one window and one figure at a time. Each morning the scene is seen from the same side of the cup, which suits a record meant to be looked at again and again. It makes a thoughtful pick for anyone who loves regional history and wants a piece of Franklin County's past on their own 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.
