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.

Eduourd Léon Edy-Legrand (July 24, 1892 - September 1970) was a French illustrator active in the early to mid-20th century. Formally named Édouard Léon Louis Warschawsky, Edy-Legrand was born in Bordeaux, France, to a French mother and a Russia- Jewish father. He studied at the École des Beaux Artes in Paris and the Art Academy in Munich, after which he took work in Paris with Tolmer Publishing. From about 1933, he began an extensive series of travels that took him throughout Europe and to North Africa, living more than 20 years in Rabat, Morocco. His work was discovered Marie Steiner, director of the Knoedler Gallery in New York, catapulting him to international art-world fame. Following World War II, he traveled to the United states, where he worked for several publishing houses and private publishers. Some of his pieces have sold at auction in New York for more six figures. Learn More...
Richard John Walsh (November 20, 1886 - May 28, 1960) was an American journalist, publisher, and socialite. Walsh was born in Lyons, Kansas and graduated manga cum laude from Harvard in 1907. He worked as a porter at the Boston Herald from 1909 to 1912. He joined the Curtis publishing Company as a advertising salesmen. When World War I broke out, he joined the staff of the United States Food Administration. Walsh wrote articles for Women's Home Companion and Judge before becoming the editor of Colliers Weekly, a position he held from 1922 to 1924. In 1926, Wash started John Day Publishing in New York, which he named after the Elizabethan Printer of the same name. The firm specialized in illustrated fiction and current affairs books and pamphlets. He remained president of the John Day Company until 1959, when he retired. Wash was also the publisher of Asia Magazine from 1933 to 1946 and the husband of Pulitzer Prices winning novelist Pearl S. Buck. Walsh died in 1960, but his firm, John Day, continued to publish until 1874, when Thomas Y. Crowell Company in 1974 and its imprint was discontinued. Learn More...
