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
Robert Morden (c. 1650 – 1703) was an English bookseller, publisher, globe maker, and mapmaker active in London on the second half of the 17th century. He is notable as one of the first successful commercial map publishers. Morden was most likely born in the north of England. As a young map he apprenticed to Joseph Moxon. He published a wide corpus of maps, most which focused on the British Isles, but also included important early maps of Britain's colonial holdings. Morden frequently partnered with William Berry and Christopher Browne. He maintained offices at the Signe of the Atlases in Cornhill and New Cheapside, London. More by this mapmaker...

Browne apprenticed with Robert Walton whose business he took over in 1688. Little is known of Browne's life but he issued several maps in concert with the Overtons, Herman Moll, and Robert Morden. Brown appears to have retired in 1712, relocating to Chilthorne Domer, a picturesque village in Somerset, England. According to Worms and Baynton-Williams he was still alive as of 1737. Learn More...
