Portrait Of Secretary Of War Edwin M. Stanton, Officer Of The United States Government (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A seated, bearded Edwin M. Stanton, wearing wire-rimmed spectacles and a dark suit, looks out from a black-and-white photographic portrait taken during the Civil War.

Visual Elements & Composition

The picture is monochrome, built from light grey and charcoal with off-white highlights and deep black in the shadows. The sitter fills the frame in a formal pose, his dark suit and beard set against a pale ground. The rectangular photographic plate keeps the image upright and plain, with no ornament to pull attention from the face. The wire-rimmed spectacles catch the light and anchor the composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

Edwin McMasters Stanton served as Secretary of War through most of the American Civil War, managing the Union's military forces under President Abraham Lincoln. The portrait was made in Mathew Brady's studio, whose galleries documented the leading figures of the era, and it was taken on a wet collodion glass negative between 1860 and 1865. The formal dress and steady gaze signal the authority of a cabinet officer during the nation's greatest internal crisis. Its place in the Library of Congress preserves that record of wartime leadership.

A Face Held at Eye Level

A mixing glass is a tall vessel that is lifted and tilted as a drink is stirred and poured, so the portrait is seen at close range and from the side. The upright plate suits a piece that is raised to eye level with each serving. Each time the glass is lifted, Stanton's composed gaze meets the holder directly.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
