Unidentified Soldier In Union Captain's Frock Coat And Officer's Sash With Sheathed Sword And Revolver (U.S. Civil War) STICKER Vinyl Die-Cut Decal

A standing Union officer in a dark frock coat and sash, shown in a 1860s photograph set within a gilt and black case frame.

Visual Elements & Composition

The figure stands at the centre of the image, dressed in a dark military-style coat and a kepi. A sword with a brass hilt and a tassel hangs at the hip, and the revolver and sheathed blade are the uniform details the composition is built to show. The picture is framed in a gilt inner mat with a black embossed outer case, and the palette of charcoal, antique gold and warm brown gives the portrait a stately, muted look.

Meaning & Symbolism

The frock coat, the officer's sash and the sword were the marks of rank in the Union army during the American Civil War, and a portrait like this records a man's place in that service. Photographs of officers in full dress were often kept as keepsakes, and the gilt-and-black case frame reflects the care taken with such images in the 1860s. The piece is a document of mid-nineteenth-century soldiering, and its meaning is in the uniform and the period it captures.

A Die-Cut Outline for a Portrait

A die-cut sticker is cut around the figure and its frame, so the officer sits on the surface without a rectangular border. That suits a standing portrait, where the silhouette of the coat, the sword and the kepi carry the image. The matte finish of the vinyl keeps the photograph calm, and the sticker goes on smooth surfaces such as glass, where the cut outline shows best.

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.
