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
Carl August Reinhardt (April 25, 1818 - August 11, 1877), also as Karl, was a writer, painter, illustrator, and caricaturist. During a rather tumultuous youth filled with periods of wandering, Reinhardt studied painting in Leipzig, Dresden, and Munich, with established painters including Johan Christian Clausen Dahl and Albert Zimmermann. Early in his career, he traveled frequently, finding work where he could, ranging from landscape paintings to caricatures for major periodicals, including Kladderadatsch, Die Gartenlaube, and the Illustrirte Zeitung in Leipzig. He also drew plates for works of fiction. His 'picture sheets' (Bilderbogen) are considered to be an important forerunner to comics. More by this mapmaker...
Georg Wigand (February 13, 1808 - February 9, 1858) was a publisher and bookseller based in Leipzig. He founded the Verlag Georg Wigand in 1834 and in 1856 opened an antiquarian bookshop with Albrecht Kirchhoff (1827 - 1902). After Georg's death, his brother Otto (1795 - 1870) took over operations and the business came to be known as Verlag Otto Wigand. It developed a reputation for publishing controversial works, including the first edition of Marx's Das Kapital and Engels' Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in England. After the 1848 revolutions, Otto became involved in politics, serving as a city councilor and member of the Saxony Landtag. In 1864, Otto retired and handed over the business to his son Carl Hugo. The firm survived under Otto's name into the early 20th century. Learn More...
Breitkopf und Härtel (1719 - present) is a long-established German printer and publishing house based in Leipzig. Although publishing in a range of fields, the firm is particularly known for publishing music and is known as the world's oldest music publishing house. The firm was founded by Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf (1695 - 1777), who married the daughter of an old but struggling print shop owner. Bernhard rescued the business, giving it his name in the process, and passed it on to his son, Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf (1719 - 1794). After Johann's death, the business was taken over by Gottfried Christoph Härtel (1763 - 1827), who added his name to Breitkopf. The firm developed a niche in the music world, publishing scores by composers and the esteemed journal Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung. Among others, Breitkopf und Härtel published works by Beethoven, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner, and Brahms. For much of the 19th century, they also manufactured pianos which were highly regarded. Remarkably, the firm survived the upheavals of 20th century German history, relocating to Wiesbaden after World War II as Leipzig fell within East Germany. Even more remarkably, the company's archive mostly survived as well and is now considered a very valuable resource for the history of Western classical music. Learn More...
