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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack.

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.
Cartographer
Estra Clark (March 13, 1904 - 1993), born Estra Walker, was a York based English school teacher, commercial artist, and pictorial mapmaker active during the middle part of the 20th century. Clark was born in York and gave evidence of her artist gifts early on, winning a local prize at just 15. She went on to study at the London Royal College of Music. She must have switched to visual arts, as by the early 1920s she was attending the York School of Arts and Crafts. Estra became interested in pictorial cartography through a love of architectures and a fascination for the historic buildings of York. Her first map was likely a painting of Ryedale, completed in 1935, but is now alas lost. Her subsequent maps, most issued between 1947 and 1959, focus on York, Yorkshire, and the surrounding cities. Her clients included British Railways. She also completed several pictorial Biblical maps. Estra retired with her husband Isaac Clark to Poppleton, near York, England, in the late 1950s. Her last known map was issued in 1959. More by this mapmaker...
