Lewis Payne: A Glimpse into History

This striking coffee mug showcases a piece of American history: a full-length portrait of Lewis Payne, one of the conspirators in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The design features a reproduction of the iconic photograph taken by Alexander Gardner during the U.S. Civil War era.

Visual Elements and Composition

The artwork presents Payne standing in front of a tent, his figure fully visible and facing right. The composition is stark and direct, reflecting the seriousness of the subject matter and the historical context. The placement of Payne against the tent backdrop adds a layer of depth and suggests the temporary setting in which the photograph was taken during his incarceration.

Meaning and Symbolism

The image of Lewis Payne is a potent symbol of a pivotal moment in American history. It represents the consequences of political extremism and the tumultuous era of the Civil War. The photograph serves as a reminder of the individuals involved in the assassination plot and the impact of their actions on the nation. The starkness of the image, the full-length portrayal, all contribute to the design’s inherent seriousness.

The design, being a historical portrait, provides a unique opportunity to own a piece of visual evidence of one of the key players in one of the most significant events of U.S. history.

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.
