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
Edward Sachse (1804 - 1873) was a German American artist, lithographer, and publisher. Born in Görlitz, Germany, Sachse operated a small lithographic firm and publishing house in Germany before immigrating to the United States in 1848. He settled in Baltimore, where he worked for E. Weber and Company briefly before opening his own firm, E. Sachse and Company, around 1850. During the 1850s, 1860s, and early 1870s, Sachse developed a reputation as the main lithographer of the Maryland - Washington D.C. area. One of his most recognizable accomplishments was the role he played in documenting the construction of the U.S. Capitol, along with other major building projects in Washington. He also created a massive twelve-sheet aerial view of Baltimore (which took three years and several artists to produce) and a four-sheet view of Syracuse. During the American Civil War, Sachse produced a series of lithographs of military campsites, hospitals, and barracks in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Sachse sold these views at the bargain price of 25 cents to soldiers as souvenirs and often created multiple views of the same encampment when new regiments moved in, and the scenery, fortifications, and tents changed. Soldiers bought the prints and often mailed them home, sometimes with notes marking their specific tent. Sachse had a close working relationship with Charles Magnus (1826 - 1900), who published and sold many of Sachse's works. Sachse's firm also published advertising posters, book illustrations, labels, and business cards. More by this mapmaker...
