Colonel Geza Milahotzy, Union Officer in the 24Th Illinois Infantry Regiment, Full-Length Portrait, Standing, Facing Front (U.S. Civil War) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A full-length monochrome portrait of Colonel Geza Milahotzy, a Union officer of the 24th Illinois Infantry Regiment, shown standing and facing the camera.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark, mid and light greys make up the whole image, giving it the tonal range of a nineteenth-century photograph. The officer fills the frame in a static, upright pose, wearing a kepi and a double-breasted frock coat with a sabre at his side. The portrait sits on a rectangular card mount, and the studio name printed on the mount is part of the record.

Meaning & Symbolism

Formal portraits of officers were made to record rank, unit and bearing, and this one documents a specific man within the 24th Illinois Infantry during the American Civil War. The stiff, straightforward pose and the uniform communicate command and service, and the sabre marks his role as an officer. The photograph is a direct link to a particular regiment and a particular life in the 1860s.

On the Kiss-Cut Sticker

A kiss-cut sticker follows the outline of the figure, so the officer stands on the surface as a clean, separate shape. The glossy finish suits a grey-toned photograph, and the design reads best on a flat surface where the uniform's detail can be studied up close, such as a notebook cover or a laptop lid.

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.
