Adriaen Collaert - Plate 2- equestrian statue of Augustus, holding a globe and seen from behind, with a - ca. 1587–89 - Kiss-Cut Stickers Design

This late-16th-century engraving by Adriaen Collaert captures a monumental equestrian statue of the Emperor Augustus viewed deliberately from behind as he holds a globe.

Composition & Engraved Lines

Rendered through dense, cross-hatched print lines characteristic of the period's northern European printmaking, the composition focuses heavily on the muscular tension of the horse and the sweeping drapery of the imperial figure. The vantage point from the rear emphasizes the immense weight and sculptural volume of the bronze-rendered monument, contrasting the small-scale human entourage against the towering base.

Imperial Authority & Late-Renaissance Antiquity

Dating to circa 1587–89, the plate translates classical Roman political iconography into the visual language of Mannerist print culture. Holding the globe aloft, Augustus is framed as the ultimate terrestrial ruler, while the unusual rear perspective subverts traditional heroic portraiture by inviting the viewer to inspect the grand scale of imperial propaganda from a monumental, ground-level perspective.

On the Kiss-Cut Stickers

As a kiss-cut sticker, the intricate lines of Collaert's historical copperplate engraving are cleanly bordered by the blade's precise contour, turning a museum print into a sharp decal ready for smooth, flat surfaces like laptops and journals.

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.
