Dr. Felix Blazer, First Assistant Surgeon In The 32nd Indiana Regiment, Half-Length Portrait, Seated, Facing Front (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

A seated officer of the 32nd Indiana Regiment looks straight out of an 1860s studio portrait, and this design brings that formal gaze to your morning routine.

Visual Elements & Composition

This is a black and white photographic reproduction of a carte de visite, so the whole picture is built from greys. Light grey fills most of the frame, charcoal and near black define the uniform and the shadowed background, and off-white picks out the brightest areas. Dr. Blazer is shown half-length and seated, his body angled toward the camera while his bearded face sits near the centre. A held slouch hat rests in his hands, and the shoulder straps on his uniform coat mark his military service. A rectangular mount border frames the scene like the edge of an original card.

Meaning & Symbolism

Cartes de visite were the everyday photograph of the Civil War years, sat for, printed in multiples and sent to family and friends. A portrait like this one records a specific man in a specific post. Dr. Blazer served as First Assistant Surgeon, the second-ranking medical officer in his regiment, and the uniform and hat tell that story without a word. The direct, frontal pose was the conventional way to present a respectable figure, so the image speaks of duty, dignity and a regiment remembered through one of its people.

Turned in Hand

A mug is handled, turned and lifted again and again, so the frontal gaze of the portrait meets you from whichever side you pick up. The bordered card design suits a piece you hold close and look at over a slow cup, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys history, military genealogy or the stories hidden in old photographs.

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.
