Portrait Of Brig. Gen. Alexander S. Webb, Officer Of The Federal Army (Maj. Gen. From Aug. 1, 1864) (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This design reproduces a formal studio portrait of Brigadier General Alexander S. Webb, an officer of the Federal Army, shown in his military dress during the American Civil War.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is a black-and-white photograph, built from charcoal and light grey tones with touches of off-white and deep black. Grey dominates the frame, giving the portrait a soft, sober atmosphere. The general is seated in a side-view studio pose, and his bearded profile is the clear focal point. His military coat, with its shoulder strap and rows of buttons, fills the composition and draws the eye along the strong lines of his uniform. The rectangular edge of the photograph frames the scene with no added decoration.

Meaning & Symbolism

Formal portraits like this one were the documentary record of their age, and this image carries that purpose. The uniform, the shoulder strap and the buttons all signal rank and service. The design commemorates Webb's documented promotion to Major General, effective 1 August 1864, a milestone within the Federal Army's leadership during the Civil War. It stands as a visual reference to a 19th-century officer whose professional identity is preserved in the image itself.

On the Mug

A mug is turned in the hand and studied at close range, so the portrait is seen as the reader lifts it, with the general's profile and uniform rotating into view. The composition suits that slow, circling viewing. For anyone who reads history over a morning cup, the piece brings a Civil War officer to the table in a quiet, personal way.

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.
