Appomattox: A Visual Record of Surrender

This vinyl kiss-cut decal captures the essence of a defining moment in American history: the surrender at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, in April 1865. The design centers around the symbolic meeting that effectively concluded the Civil War, utilizing key visual elements to represent the event.

The McLean House: A Symbol of Reconciliation

The primary focus of the design is the McLean House, the unassuming private residence where the surrender negotiations took place. The depiction of the house itself serves as a visual anchor, instantly identifying the location and highlighting the historic significance of the space. It symbolizes the end of conflict, negotiated not in a formal courthouse but in a setting that implies the beginning of a different kind of rebuilding.

Generosity and the Path to Peace

Subtle visual cues within the design, such as symbolic representation of departing Confederate soldiers allowed to keep their personal possessions, hint at the generous terms of surrender offered by General Grant. These elements speak to the spirit of reconciliation and the delicate process of reunifying a fractured nation, helping to emphasize the significance of the act in the broader scope of American history.

A Permanent Reminder

The design serves as a powerful visual reminder of the importance of this historical turning point. The sticker's depiction of the surrender at Appomattox stands as a tribute to the resilience of the American spirit, emphasizing the complex transition from war to peace, and the lasting impact of that pivotal day.

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.
