Portrait Of Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum, Officer Of The Federal Army (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This is a formal, black-and-white portrait of Major General Henry Warner Slocum, rendered as a stern and deliberate study of a Union commander.

Composition & Tonal Range

The image is built from grey, charcoal, off-white and near-black, with grey taking up nearly half the frame. The soft mid-tones of the photograph keep the eye on the seated figure, a man in a military frock coat with a full mustache and swept-back hair. The vertical portrait rectangle gives him height and dignity, and the restrained palette lets the uniform's dark wool and the pale highlights of his face do the work. There is no text or decoration to compete with the sitter.

Meaning & Symbolism

Slocum served from 1827 to 1894, and his most notable command came at Gettysburg, where he led the XII Corps. Portraits like this were produced in the post-war years to record leadership and honour the officers who shaped the conflict, and many of them later went on to serve in Congress, as Slocum did. The frock coat and rank insignia signify the authority and discipline of the Federal Army, the chain of command that moved men through the bloodiest battles of the century. Few images from the period carry that weight so plainly.

Holding the Portrait

A mug is a piece you turn in your hand, and this portrait is built for that motion. Its upright format runs along the straight sides of the mug, so the General stands tall as the cup is lifted, and the face comes level with your eye on each sip. Each time you turn the handle, the composition shifts to a new angle. It is a quiet, serious portrait for a morning ritual, and a sensible way to keep an 1860s commander close at the start of the day.

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.
