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

A seated older man in a dark suit and white collar is shown in profile in this black-and-white photographic portrait of Simon Cameron, the 26th United States Secretary of War.

Visual Elements & Composition

Light grey dominates the photographic plate, with charcoal sinking the suit and the edges of the frame. Off-white picks out the collar and the highlights of the face, while black sets the deepest shadows. The sitter is turned sideways, so the strong line of his profile becomes the principal shape of the image. The rectangular plate gives the portrait a plain, formal structure with no ornament competing for attention.

Meaning & Symbolism

Cameron served as Secretary of War under Abraham Lincoln during the opening years of the American Civil War. A Pennsylvania politician, he was instrumental in securing Lincoln's 1861 presidential nomination. The portrait was made by Brady's National Photographic Portrait Galleries between about 1860 and 1865, and it survives in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. Official portraits of the period were made to project the authority and steadiness of government during a divided nation.

Held Up to the Light

A pint glass has a tall, curved wall that the hand lifts and turns, so the image wraps around the surface as the glass moves. The profile falls at a clear angle, and the dark suit sits along the lower half, where the eye settles. Monochrome images of this kind read cleanly at close range, which suits a portrait built on contrast and outline.

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.
