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

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
Gibert-Clarey (1873 - Present) was a French printing house active in Tours during the mid to late 19th century. In 1863, Jean-Baptiste Gibert (Vallères, Indre-et-Loire; June 24, 1832 - April 22, 1902) married Constance Clarey, daughter of the Tours booksellers and lithographers Pierre Clarey and Jeanne Martineau. Clarey and Martineau, who published as Clarey-Martineau, retired in 1865, leaving the business in the hands of their son, Alfred Célestin Clarey (Tours, Indre-et-Loire; October 9, 1838 - February 11, 1907), and son-in-law, Gibert. Jeanne Clarey, for some reason, retained the Tours lithographer's patent and did not transfer it to her son. This is likely why, in 1873, Gibert and Carey founded 'Clarey-Martineau and Gibert', opening a sales office in Paris. This iteration of the business was dissolved in 1876 when Clarey relocated to Ansières while Gibert remained active in Tours as 'Imprimerie Gibert-Clarey.' He specialized in vivid chromolithographic advertising cards, labels, and broadsides, with work often unsigned or signed simply as GTC. Their work won a bronze medal at the Exhibition of Applied Arts in Industry in 1876 and a first prize and silver-gilt medal at the Angers Exhibition in 1877. When Gibert died, the firm was taken over briefly by his widow, then by his son, René Gibert, who expanded into typography. The firm, remarkably, remains active as Gibert-Clarey Imprimeurs.
