Antietam, Md. Cavalry Orderly Vinyl Decal - Design Overview

This vinyl decal presents a striking visual of a U.S. Civil War Cavalry Orderly at the Battle of Antietam. The artwork focuses on the key elements representing this historical figure: a mounted soldier, attired in the uniform of the era, riding a horse through a stylized battlefield backdrop.

Visual Representation

The central figure is a Union cavalryman, depicted with meticulous attention to historical detail. He is shown on horseback, a symbol of speed and the ability to traverse the battlefield quickly. The rider's uniform, likely a jacket and trousers common to the period, is rendered in period-accurate colors, suggesting authenticity. The horse, also accurately portrayed, is a vital part of the design, symbolizing the partnership that defined the orderlies' role.

Background & Symbolism

The background imagery hints at the chaos of the Antietam battlefield. Subtly rendered elements like the terrain, cornfields, and perhaps distant smoke or gunfire, create a sense of action and danger, highlighting the challenging environment the orderly navigated. This subtle background serves to emphasize the orderly as a courageous figure, risking life to deliver crucial messages.

The overall composition is designed to capture the essence of this important historical figure. The orderly acts as a visual embodiment of communication and coordination during the battle, and thus a key factor in the outcome.

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.
