Washington, D.C. Noncommissioned Officers Of Company H, 10th Veteran Reserve Corps, At Washington Circle (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

This is a black-and-white photographic record of a line of uniformed soldiers standing at attention, the noncommissioned officers of Company H, 10th Veteran Reserve Corps, photographed at Washington Circle in Washington, D.C.

Visual Elements & Composition

The photograph is built as a horizontal line-up. A row of soldiers with rifles fills the centre of the frame, held rigid and evenly spaced, so the eye reads the formation before it reads any individual face. An officer in a long coat stands at the left edge, and a seated woman with a parasol sits at the right, softening the military rigidity with an everyday presence. Behind them an equestrian statue rises on its pedestal. The palette is entirely greyscale: dark grey and black anchor the uniforms and shadows, while pale sky grey and light grey open the background.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Veteran Reserve Corps was formed during the Civil War to place veterans wounded in service into garrison and guard duty, so these men represent a generation of soldiers who returned to uniform after the front. Photographed at Washington Circle, a well-known public park in the capital, the scene places the military in the civic life of the city. The statue and the parasol together make the point: the nation's wartime capital was also a place of ordinary strolls and Sunday leisure.

Made for the Mug

A mug is turned in the hand, so the image is never seen all at once. As the cup rotates, the formation slides across the curve, and the line of soldiers reads as a procession around the vessel. Each sip brings the statue and the seated woman back into view, a small, repeated moment of looking closely at a piece of the past over a morning cup.

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.
