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
Pierre / Pieter Raoux (September 8, 1845 - October 3, 1917) was a Belgian graphic artist, engraver, printer, and lithographer active in Bruges from roughly 1879 to 1889. Raoux ws the eldest son of Francisca Lagast - at the time unmarried. When she married the carpenter Edmond Raoux in 1850, Pieter was legitimized. His family was nonetheless mired in poverty and Pieter was consigned to the care of the Broeders van Liefde (Brothers of Charity) at Katelijnestraat. Raoux studied art at the Brugse Academie and was later trained as a lithographer under Jacques Petyt (1822 - 1871). Roaux took over management of the Petyt studio, along with his widow, and ran it until 1874. Around this time he received a state grant to study the new printing technique of chromolithography in Paris. He received a subsequent private grant from Jean-Baptiste Bethune and printer-publisher Henri Desclée to study painting in Italy. Their intention was for him to take over the Saint Augustin printing house in Bruges. Although this project ultimately led to fruition, Raoux had a disagreement with Bethune and Desclée and started his own business in 1879. In 1889, he closed his printing studio and took over management of St. Augustin, as was intended. In this position most of his work was done on behalf of ecclesiastical orders, but included religious cards, memorials, blessings, and at least one map. His offices were at Noordzandstraat 85.
