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.

Edmund Burke Kellogg (May 27, 1809 - March 26, 1872) was an American lithographer and printer. Born in Tolland, Connecticut, Kellogg trained as a newspaper printer and was apprenticed with Samuel Green in New London, Connecticut. Kellogg joined his probers Daniel Wright Kellogg (1807 - 1874) and Elijah Chapman Kellogg (1811 - 1881) at Daniel's firm D.W. Kellogg and Company sometime in the 1830s. Around 1836, Daniel moved west, and Edmund and Elijah took over the firm. Edmund and Elijah renamed the firm E.B. and E.C. Kellogg in 1842. This firm operated until 1848, when John C. Comstock joined the brothers and the business became Kellogg and Comstock. The partnership with Comstock lasted only until 1850, and the brothers went their separate ways. Edmund and Elijah reopened E.B. and E.C. Kellogg in 1855. Elijah's son, Charles B. Kellogg, joined the firm around 1865. Edmund and Elijah sold their interest in the firm to William H. Bulkeley (1840 - 1902) in 1867. The younger Kellogg and Bulkeley partnered to form the firm Kellogg and Bulkeley. Kellogg and Bulkeley operated until 1946, when it merged with Case, Lockwood, and Brainard to form Connecticut Printers, Inc, which is still in operation today. More by this mapmaker...
Edward Hooker Ensign (August 18, 1818 - July 10, 1871) was an American map and print publisher based in New York during the middle part of the 19th century. Edward was born in West Hartland, Connecticut. Little is known of Ensign's training but he may have inherited his business from his father, Timothy Ensign (1795 - 1859), who was a map publisher active in New York. Ensign seems to have had a flair for partnerships and variously published with Humphrey Phelps (1799 - 1875), Horace Thayer, Thomas C. Fanning (1805 - 1873) and Erastus C. Bridgman (1817 - 1870), among others. His various imprints include 'Phelps and Ensign' (1841-1844), 'T. and E. H. Ensign' (1844-1848), 'Ensign and Thayer' (1849), 'Ensign, Thayer, and Company' (1850-1851), 'Horace Thayer and Company' (1852), and 'Ensign, Bridgman and Fanning' (1854-1863). It appears that father and son worked together for some time as well, publishing as either 'T. and E. H. Ensign' or 'Ensigns'. At least some of these companies maintained offices in both Buffalo and New York City. Learn More...
Horace Thayer (June 29, 1811 - March 15, 1875) was a New York based publisher and lithographer active in New York City and Buffalo, New York, during the middle part of the 19th century. Thayer's publications focused on travel guides, wall, and pocket maps - many of which were based on the works of other American cartographers including J. H. Colton and S. A. Mitchell. In the 1840s, he partnered with the Hartford, Connecticut publisher Timothy Ensign (1795 - 1849) and later his son, Edward Hooker Ensign (1818 - 1871). According to map historian Walter Ristow, J. H. Colton's older son, George Washington Colton, partnered with Thayer in the late 1850s and early 1860s, possibly in order to learn Thayer's lithography techniques. Certainly a number of maps emerged bearing a 'Thayer and Colton' imprint. At various points Thayer also published with other prominent publishers and printmakers, publishing as Kelloggs and Thayer (1846 - 1847), Ensigns and Thayer (1848), Ensign and Thayer (1849 - 1850), and Ensign, Thayer, and Company (1850 - 1851), Phelps and Watson (1859), and Thayer and Colton (1859-186?). Thayer seems to have moved frequently and had offices at 50 Ann Street, 156 William Street, and at 18 Beekman Street, all in New York City. Learn More...
