Atlanta, Georgia (Vicinity). Federal Pickets Before the City (U.S. Civil War) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This sticker presents a visual snapshot of a pivotal moment in the American Civil War: the Atlanta Campaign of 1864. The design's core imagery evokes the tense anticipation surrounding the siege of Atlanta. The phrase "Atlanta, Georgia, vicinity. Federal pickets before the city" serves as the central element, anchoring the design in historical context.

Symbolism and Representation

The design utilizes the text, arranged to suggest a historical photograph caption or military report heading, immediately signaling the historical focus. "Federal" points to the Union Army's presence, signifying the campaign's context. "Pickets," placed before "the city," indicates the strategic positioning of Union soldiers. The city of Atlanta, in the background (implied), symbolizes the contested prize and the impending conflict.

The overall aesthetic is intended to evoke the visual style of the era, such as a woodcut print or historical map marker. The design's purpose is to act as a window into the past, sparking reflections about conflict, strategy, and the human cost of war. The sticker design aims to capture the feel of mid-19th century American military life.

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.
