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.

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

John Wykeham Archer (1808 - May 25, 1864) was a British writer, artist, and engraver. Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in 1820 Bradford moved to London where he studied with John Scott, a noted engraver of animals. Scott, however, fell ill, which forced Bradford's apprenticeship to be cut short and he decided to return to Newcastle. While in Newcastle, Bradford collaborated with William Collard on a series of large plates of Fountains Abbey based on drawings by John Wilson Carmichael. Bradford also produced several plates on his own for Mackenzie's History of Durham. After a short time in Edinburgh, Bradford returned to London in 1830 and entered the studio of the engravers William and Edward Finden. After a few years, however, the market for the kind of work done by the Findens declined, and Bradford found work engraving plates for the New Sporting Magazine. At some point Bradford was elected as a member of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours, he began creating work in this vein, including a series of drawings of St. Mary Overy, before its restoration. Soon, Bradford had amassed a more than one hundred drawings of London antiquities and offered them to the British Museum, which declined the collection. Nonetheless, he successfully sold them to William Twopenny, who also commissioned Bradford to continue making twenty more similar drawings each year. The British Museum then acquired the entire collection from Twopenny's estate in 1874. Archer also created drawings for wood engravings that were published in the Illustrated London News and several other publications. He was also a regular contributor to the Gentleman's Magazine. Bradford also claimed that he had revived the practice of engraving monumental brasses, and even produced several monuments of this type from his own designs. He also painted a few works in oil over the course of his career. More by this mapmaker...
