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
Johannes Walch (November 25, 1757 - March 23, 1815) was a German painter, draftsman, engraver, cartographer and publisher. He was the son of abusinessman, amateur painter and engraver Sebastian Walch; he received training as a miniature painter in Augsburg, Geneva and the Vienna Art Academy. After a two-year trip to Italy, he settled in Augsburg, where he married the eldest daughter of the Augsburg-based engraver and publisher Johann Martin Will, and worked in his father-in-law's publishing house. His contributions led the publisher to focus more heavily on As a result, the publisher increasingly turned to map production, heavily supported by the acquisition of material from Lotter and Seutter. After Will's death in 1806, Walch inherited the firm and continued to increase its importance as a map publisher. His son Johann Sebastian Walch (1787–1840) would inherit the publishing house.

Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly (August 18, 1766 – July 6, 1820) was an Austrian author, humorist, cartographer, and map publisher active in the late 18th century and early 20th century. Joseph was born in Vienna, Austria, the the son of court master John Reilly. He initially worked in the Austrian Civil Service, but was apparently unpaid and unsuccessful in that operation, quitting the position after 3 years. With significant wealth inherited from his father, Reilly dedicated himself to printing and cartography, publishing several major atlases between 1789 and 1806. He is most famous for publishing the Grosser Deutscher Atlas (1794 - 1796), the first world atlas fully published and produced by an Austrian. This atlas was probably in spired by Franz Anton Schrämbl's (1751 - 1803) Allgemeiner Grosser Atlass. During his career he produced thousands of maps and multiple atlases, but retired form cartography in 1806. Learn More...
