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. 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
Jacobo Peuser (1842 - November 9, 1901) was the German-born founder of a bookshop and publishing house in Buenos Aires that bore his name. When he was 12, his family moved to La Plata in Argentina. Jacobo became interested in arts and printing and began working in the industry in nearby cities, before moving to Buenos Aires at age 23 and establishing his own stationery and book shop. He found quick success and expanded his business, acquiring competitors and building a grand new headquarters in 1891. New locations were added, including in other cities, and Peuser developed a reputation as a premier bookstore in Argentina with an extensive collection of works in different fields. Peuser Guides for Buenos Aires and other cities became the gold standard for tourists and locals alike. He also expanded into publishing postcards late in life. After his death in 1901, Peuser's descendants continued the business under his name until it closed in 1964. Peuser's headquarters still stands at Avenida Patricios 567 in Buenos Aires, with the words 'Fundado 1867' displayed prominently on the building's façade. More by this mapmaker...
