Alexandria, Va. Battery Rodgers at Hunting Creek and the Potomac; 8-In. Parrott Gun in Foreground; a Rodman Gun Beyond (U.S. Civil War) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A black-and-white stereograph view of two heavy cannons on iron carriages in an earthwork battery, overlooking the river at Alexandria, Virginia.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is built as a pair of side-by-side panels in soft greys, with a light sky above and mid-grey water beyond. The 8-inch Parrott gun dominates the foreground, its dark iron barrel resting on a carriage, while a second Rodman gun sits further back in the same earthwork. Wooden steps climb the earthen parapet, and wharves and buildings line the far bank, giving the scene a layered depth.

Meaning & Symbolism

The battery belongs to the Civil War defences that guarded the Potomac approaches to Washington. Parrott and Rodman guns were the heavy artillery of the period, and placing them at Hunting Creek records how riverside fortifications were arranged in the 1860s. The stereograph format links the image to the photographic record of the war, so the piece serves as a historical document of American military engineering as much as a picture of guns.

Set Against a Die-Cut Edge

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the edge of its own artwork, so the outline of the cannon and the parapet becomes the shape of the sticker rather than a plain rectangle. The fine tonal detail of the photograph suits a close view on a journal, a laptop lid or a notebook, where the iron barrel and the river can be studied up close.

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.
