Napoleon with Horse, Battle of St. Bernard Pass Coffee Mug
The year is 1800. A chill wind whispers through the towering peaks of the Alps, a silent witness to the drama unfolding below. Forget the idealised portraits for a moment, and listen to the tale of a crossing unlike any other. I tell you of Napoleon Bonaparte, a man driven by ambition, and an army bound by his will. They were not marching into a battlefield of glory, but into a natural fortress of ice and stone: the Great St. Bernard Pass. -- Imagine, if you will, the endless columns of men, their heavy boots sinking into the unforgiving snow. Each breath was a plume of white in the frigid air. They hauled cannons and supplies, their bodies straining with every step, over paths barely wider than a mountain goat's trail. The wind, a constant adversary, threatened to hurl them into the icy abyss. Avalanches, like sleeping giants, loomed over them, waiting to unleash their fury. -- He, Napoleon, the Little Corporal, was there amongst them. Not always astride a magnificent steed, as the painters would have you believe, but often on a more humble mule, his gaze fixed on the distant peaks. His enemy was Austria, and the fate of Italy hung in the balance. The Austrians, having pushed the French out of much of Italy, believed the Alps impenetrable. Napoleon's audacious plan was to surprise them, to descend upon them from this unexpected direction and reclaim what was lost. For Napoleon, this was more than a military campaign; it was about solidifying his power, his image as a brilliant leader, and ensuring France's dominance in Europe. For his men, it was a test of loyalty and endurance, driven by the promise of glory and the fear of failure.

Creator Review
The quality of these larger mugs is very good. I have been putting mine through the dishwasher all the time and it shows no signs of fading or dulling. Ergonomically these are lovely to hold and have fast become my favourite mug for a big cup of tea or coffee.
Totally recommend getting the tea infuser with the mug especially if you like using loose leaf tea, which always tastes better from my experience and is better for the environment. Printing was good, bright and most importantly accurately matches the colouring shown on the website.
