Digital Map Information

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.

Thomas Sterling North (November 4, 1906 - December 21, 1974) was an American writer and newspaperman. Born in Edgerton, Wisconsin, North attended the University of Chicago and then worked as a writer for the Chicago Daily News, the New York World-Telegram, and the New York Sun before going freelance full-time. Notably, North was one of the first public figures to denounce comic books as the Chicago Daily News Literary Editor in 1940. North wrote several books over the course of his career, including Rascal: A Memoir of a Better Era, a memoir of a year in his childhood when he raised a baby racoon. Rascal won several awards, was made into a Disney movie in 1969, and then became a 52-episode Japanese anime series (which introduced the raccoon to a Japanese audience) in 1977. He married Gladys Buchanan (June 3, 1907 - February 5, 1989) with whom he had two children. Gladys and Sterling made at least one map together entitled Being a Literary Map of These United States depicting a Renaissance no less astonishing than that of Periclean Athens or Elizabethan London.
