Digital Map Information
Geographicus maintains an archive of high-resolution rare map scans. We scan our maps at 300 DPI or higher, with newer images being 600 DPI, (either TIFF or JPEG, depending on when the scan was done) which is most cases in suitable for enlargement and printing.
Delivery
Once you purchase our digital scan service, you will receive a download link via email - usually within seconds. Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack. Some of our files are very large, and can take some time to download. Most files are saved into your computer's 'Downloads' folder. All delivery is electronic. No physical product is shipped.
Credit and Scope of Use
You can use your digial image any way you want! Our digital images are unrestricted by copyright and can be used, modified, and published freely. The textual description that accompanies the original antique map is not included in the sale of digital images and remains protected by copyright.

How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.
Richard Amerman (September 1, 1824 - October 6, 1893), sometimes spelled Ammerman, was a New York based surveyor and lawyer active in the late 19th century. Amerman was born in New York City. He was drafted in New York to fight in the American Civil War. In the 1870s, Amerman partnered with another city surveyor, Francis W. Ford (1846 - 1904), who he trained from 1864, to compile and publish cadastral property maps of New York - a lucrative profession in a time when old estates were being seized under eminent domain and redeveloped into property lots. When Amerman died in 1893, Ford took over the business, running it under his own name. Amerman is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn. More by this mapmaker...
Francis W. Ford (July 1846 - February 3, 1904) was a New York City based civil engineer and surveyor active in the late 19th century. Ford was born in the lower part of Manhattan, New York City. Ford began his career as a civil engineer in 1864, a just 18, when he took a position under Richard Amerman (1829 - 1893, aka. Ammerman), who trained him in surveying. He later partnered with Richard Amerman sometime in the 1870s to compile and publish cadastral property maps of New York in the 1870s - a lucrative profession in a time when old estates were being seized under eminent domain and redeveloped into property lots. After Amerman passed in 1893, the business continued as Francis W. Ford and Sons well into the 20th century, eventually bringing his sons Frederic C. Ford, Francis W. Ford Jr., and Harold Ford into the business. Francis W. Ford, his eldest, died just two years after his father in a freak car accident. Francis lived at no. 5 Mount Morris Park West, in Harlem. His home still stands and has been divided into condos. Learn More...
