Nick Biddle, Of Pottsville, Pa., The First Man Wounded In The Great American Rebellion, Baltimore, April 18, 1861 (U.S. Civil War) STICKER Vinyl Die-Cut Decal

This sticker reproduces a monochrome carte de visite of Nick Biddle, a bearded man in a buttoned military-style jacket, with its printed caption.

Visual Elements & Composition

The image is a vertical portrait in shades of charcoal and mid grey, with off-white highlights and deep black in the jacket and shadows. The sitter fills the frame, with his buttoned jacket and shoulder straps set against a plain backdrop. Below the portrait runs the printed caption card, which carries the name, the description and the publisher's line in plain type. The composition is formal and frontal, the typical format of the period's studio portraits.

Meaning & Symbolism

The caption identifies the sitter as Nick Biddle of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and describes him as the first man wounded in the Great American Rebellion, at Baltimore on April 18, 1861. The card was published by W. R. Mortimer of Pottsville, Schuylkill County, and it is a record of how a local figure was presented to the public during the opening months of the Civil War. The photograph and its caption together make the portrait a piece of regional and national history.

On the Die-Cut Sticker

A die-cut follows the outline of the card, so the sticker keeps the portrait's rectangular edge and its caption without a border. The matte finish keeps the tonal range of the photograph soft, in line with the original's grey palette. The sticker is made for indoor use on smooth, flat surfaces such as a notebook, a laptop lid or a cabinet door. It is a fitting piece for anyone who collects Civil War-era portraits or the local history of Pottsville.

Die-cut vinyl decals: precision-cut shapes on premium water-resistant vinyl with a matte laminate and UV protection — built to resist sun, rain and everyday wear for long-lasting use.

These die-cut decals are trimmed exactly to the design, producing crisp edges and a professional finish. They’re made from thick, water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate that reduces glare while protecting colors from fading.

The production process uses eco-solvent inks for dense, even color and a protective overlaminate that helps the decal survive outdoor exposure. Rated for multi-year outdoor life when applied to the right surface, these decals give a clean, matte look without sacrificing durability.

  • Material: premium water-resistant vinyl engineered for weather resistance.
  • Finish: matte laminate that mutes shine and guards against scratches.
  • Print: eco-solvent inks for solid blacks and vivid color depth.
  • Protection: UV laminate extends outdoor life and helps prevent fade.
  • Longevity: rated to last multiple years outdoors under normal conditions.

Die-cut decals adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces — glass, metal, coated plastics and finished wood. They work well on bottles, windows, laptops and vehicle windows for short- to medium-term outdoor use.

  1. Prep the surface: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth; for residue use mild soap and water and allow to dry fully.
  2. Peel and position: lift a corner of the liner, align the decal and lay it down slowly, pressing from the center outward.
  3. Seal: smooth the edges with a card or your thumb to ensure full contact and reduce trapping air.

Note: to keep adhesive performance in wet conditions, apply decals to very smooth surfaces (for example: glass). Avoid rough or heavily textured materials where the adhesive can’t form a full bond.

Maintenance is low-effort. Gently wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp microfiber and light pressure will clean the surface — dry immediately afterward.

Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents or power washers; these can scratch the laminate or lift edges. Proper care preserves the matte finish and keeps colors vivid for longer.

Sizes are specified by the longest side. For example, a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork’s contour so the decal sits flush with clean, professional edges.

Small variations can occur with intricate outlines, but the listed measurement always reflects the maximum edge-to-edge length for accurate placement planning.
