Battlefield Of Gettysburg. Dead Confederate Sharpshooter At Foot Of Little Round Top (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design reproduces a historic albumen print of a dead Confederate sharpshooter lying at the foot of Little Round Top after the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.

Visual Elements & Composition

Sepia brown dominates the scene, with dull olive grey on the grass and rocks, pale cream in the highlights, and dark umber in the shadows. The soldier lies prone in a dark coat on the grass, his long rifle stretched across the ground beside him and his slouch hat lying nearby. Behind him, a rocky outcrop furred with lichen fills the frame. The image sits on a grey photographic mount, and the numeral 96 appears within the print, a small reminder that this is a record rather than a painting.

Meaning & Symbolism

The photograph shows the cost of the fighting on Little Round Top, the rocky hill at the southern end of the Union line. Union forces held that ground from July 1 to July 3, 1863, and stopped Confederate troops from flanking their position, a result that made Gettysburg a turning point of the war. The fallen sharpshooter stands for the human price of that victory. Photographers working the field afterwards, Timothy O'Sullivan and Alexander Gardner among them, recorded scenes like this one, and their images changed how the public saw combat.

Turned in the Hand

A mug is a object you hold close and turn slowly, so the scene reveals itself one section at a time as the cup rotates. The rocky outcrop and the rifle sweep around the curve of the vessel, while the soldier rests on the side that faces you across the table. The handle leaves a clear gap in the image, which means the picture is read in pieces, the way a viewer moves through a field after the shooting has stopped. It is a quiet, serious piece of history for the first cup of the morning, and an easy one to give to someone who appreciates a story with weight behind it.

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.
