Gettysburg, Pa. Three Confederate Prisoners - Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal presents a stark visual representation of "Gettysburg, Pa. Three Confederate Prisoners," a poignant image from the aftermath of the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg. The artwork focuses on a central composition mirroring the historical photograph: three Confederate soldiers, rendered in detail, likely wearing their uniforms, and bearing expressions reflecting the profound exhaustion and defeat of capture.

Visual Elements and Composition

The design’s power derives from its fidelity to the original photograph. The prisoners are likely depicted in close proximity to one another, possibly posed together, either restrained or standing in a manner suggesting they are under guard. The artist may have chosen a natural backdrop or subtly incorporated elements reminiscent of a temporary encampment or the battlefield itself, which add context to the scene.

The visual style, which is characteristic of the period, highlights the human cost of the conflict. The facial expressions of the Confederate soldiers are crucial, suggesting a profound sense of loss, defeat, and the grim reality of their situation. The artwork effectively captures the mood of dejection and serves as a visual record of a historical event.

Meaning and Symbolism

The artwork's significance is interwoven with its historical context. The image is more than a mere depiction of three soldiers; it symbolizes the human impact of the Civil War. It reinforces the narrative of Union triumph, as conveyed by the historical documentation of Confederate losses. The design acts as a reminder of the brutality and the personal experiences within the conflict.

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.
