22D New York State Militia Near Harpers Ferry, Va., 1861 I.E.1862 025 (U.S. Civil War) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This sticker reproduces a sepia photograph of a soldier of the New York State Militia standing beside a field cannon near Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in the early years of the American Civil War.

Visual Elements & Composition

Warm sepia and dark brown dominate the image, with cream highlights and grey-green in the landscape. A soldier in a forage cap stands with his rifle in front of a field cannon on a spoked wooden carriage, and a whitewashed farm building sits in the background. The photograph is a single rectangular print, and the figure and the gun are the two points the eye returns to. A small printed mark, B919, appears within the image.

Meaning & Symbolism

The picture records a militia unit in the field during the first phase of the war, when volunteer and militia regiments were still taking shape. Harpers Ferry was a significant strategic point in the Virginia of 1861 and 1862, and the cannon and its carriage are the clearest markers of the military setting. The soldier's stance and the plain farm buildings give the scene a documentary character, the kind of record historians and collectors value for period military life.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker is trimmed to the outline of its artwork, so the photograph sits on the surface with its edge defined by the cut rather than by a border. The warm sepia tones suit a flat surface where the soldier and the gun can be seen clearly, such as a notebook, a journal or a laptop lid.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
