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. That said, we put significant care and effort into scanning and editing these maps, and we’d appreciate a credit when possible. Should you wish to credit us, please use the following credit line:

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

Modesto Tiburcio Cendoya y Busquets (November 4, 1856 - September 26, 1938) was a Spanish architect and the director of La Alhambra from 1907 until 1923. Born in Bera, Spain, he studied at the Central Univeristy Falculty of Sciences in Madrid from 1870 until 1874. In 1885 he graduated from the Madrid Higher School with a degree in architecture. Cendoya y Busquets moved to Granada in 1885 to work on reconstruction efforts in towns destroyed by the Alhama earthquake. He was named municipal architect of Granada in 1888 and held the position until he retired in 1927. Over the course of his career, Cendoya y Busquets worked on numerous projects in the area, including the layout for the Gran Vía de Colón (1891), the Alhambra Palace Hotel, and the Spanish pavilion for the 1910 Universal Exhibition in Brussels, for which he won two awards. He was appointed Director of the Alhambra by Royal Order on May 1, 1907. He held this position until he was dismissed in 1923. Cendoya y Busquets' tenure as Director of the Alhambra is remembered as one of the most controversial in the modern era and he was dismissed because of accusations of laziness (supposedly driven by differences with the Board of Directors) and because he was said to be the cause of numerous and irreparable archaeological damage.
