Hampton, Va. Brick Chimneys, Etc., Of Burned Houses (U.S. Civil War) Sticker Design

This sticker design presents a stark and evocative visual representation of the destruction wrought upon Hampton, Virginia, during the American Civil War. The central image is a haunting depiction of "brick chimneys, etc., of burned houses," a direct reference to the photographic records of the town's devastation.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The artwork focuses on the remnants of buildings after the intentional burning of Hampton in 1861. The solitary, brick chimneys stand as silent sentinels, rising from a desolate landscape. This stark imagery symbolizes the abrupt end of lives, homes, and community, encapsulating the raw experience of war and its impact on civilian spaces. The chimneys themselves, representing the few architectural elements to survive the blaze, embody resilience amidst ruin.

The design’s focus is on the contrast between the structures' permanence, reflected in the brick, and the complete destruction of wooden structures. It evokes the feeling of desolation and loss, and serves as a powerful reminder of the physical and emotional scars left by the conflict. The design captures a poignant moment in history, turning a historical tragedy into a visually arresting statement.

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.
