Adam von Bartsch - Cow and goat lying down - 1800–01 - Kiss-Cut Stickers Design

Drawn from the hand of pioneering printmaker Adam von Bartsch at the dawn of the nineteenth century, this intimate pastoral scene captures a cow and goat resting quietly side by side.

Line and Repose

Rendered through precise etching and engraving, the composition contrasts the massive, heavy bulk of the recumbent bovine with the alert yet relaxed posture of the smaller goat. Fine, directional hatching creates texture across hide and fleece, establishing volume and shadow against an unadorned ground that emphasizes the animals' tranquil stillness.

Pastoral Tradition at the Turn of the Century

Produced between 1800 and 1801, the print reflects a deep-seated fascination with agrarian life and rural quietude characteristic of European print culture in this era. Von Bartsch, renowned primarily for his monumental catalogue of early master prints, here turns his own needle to a timeless motif of domestic livestock at rest, echoing centuries of printmaking traditions dedicated to the calm rhythms of the countryside.

On the Kiss-Cut Stickers

Reduced to its exact silhouette, this historic etching transfers cleanly to flat indoor surfaces, turning a delicate archival impression into a sharp, contour-cut accent for journals and laptops.

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.
