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 S
Christian August Jorgensen (October 7, 1860 - June 24, 1935), more often known as Chris Jorgensen, was a Norwegian-born painter known for his landscapes and depictions of the American West. When Jorgensen's father died of tuberculosis, his mother moved the family to San Francisco, where her brother had already emigrated. Jorgensen was discovered as a youth by Virgil Williams, who became the first director of the San Francisco School of Design. Williams and Thomas Hill became Jorgensen's mentors and left an imprint on his style, informed by classical European styles and more recent impressionism. He was also heavily influenced by the epic, sweeping landscapes of the American West painted by Albert Bierstadt. Williams made Jorgensen an instructor at his new school, where Jorgensen met and married Angela Ghirardelli, heiress to the extremely successful chocolatier. Jorgensen was distinctive in that he painted in watercolor as opposed to the more common oil. He was especially known for his depictions of Yosemite, where he maintained a studio, and of the former Spanish missions of California. More by this mapmaker...
Edward Bosqui (1832–1917) was a Canadian artist and printer, and patron of the arts based in San Francisco, California. He was born in Montreal and came to California in 1850; his early training is obscure, but he founded the Bosqui Engraving and Printing Company in 1863, to some success until misfortune struck in the destruction of his business by fire in 1893, and of the burning of his home in 1897. Bosqui helped organize the San Francisco Art Association in 1871. Learn More...
