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.

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
Sengoku Kotaro (千石興太郎; February 7, 1874 - August 22, 1950) was a Japanese political activist and union organizer in the early-mid 20th century. Born on the outskirts of Tokyo, he attended the Sapporo Agricultural College (now part of Hokkaido University) and after graduation took a job with the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce guiding farmers in Shimane Prefecture, near Hiroshima, and then took a similar position in the South Seas Agency (Japanese Mandate over former German colonies in Oceania). He became deeply interested in the potential of agricultural and industrial cooperatives and unions, and took on leading roles in the Central Union of Co-operative Societies (産業組合中央會) and the National Federation of Purchasing Unions (国購買組合連合会). He published regularly in the monthly magazine Ie no hikari (家の光), the flagship publication of the Central Union of Co-operative Societies. Though Sengoku was highly influenced by socialism, his views on family and gender roles were traditional (as reflected in the publication's title), he was a strong advocate for the centrality of the imperial family in Japanese life, and he consistently advocated for imperial expansion, especially in China, in the 1930s. Late in life, Sengoku served as a cabinet minister, including as Minister of Agriculture in the brief government of Prince Naruhiko Higashikuni which oversaw the surrender of Japan to the Allies. After the war, he was deeply involved in organizing the Japan Cooperative Party (日本協同党) but was restricted from political participation by occupation authorities for his role in encouraging militarism and nationalism in the preceding years.
