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

You can use your digial image any way you want! Our digital images are unrestricted by copyright and can be used, modified, and published freely. The textual description that accompanies the original antique map is not included in the sale of digital images and remains protected by copyright.

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

Anthony Loret de Mola (September 20, 1903 - January 7, 1960) was a Cuban-American artist, draftsman, and mapmaker. Born in Vera Cruz, Mexico, De Mola arrived in the United States in Key West on April 5, 1929, having most recently lived in Havana, where he created maps for the Key to Havana Tourist Guide. By 1942, De Mola was working as a mapmaker for the Hagstrom Company in New York City. De Mola lived at 247 Audubon Avenue, from at least 1942 until his death in 1960. His wife Suzana (April 10, 1910 - 1981) was of Armenian descent and was born at Constantinople, Turkey. They married on July 21, 1934 and had no children. More by this mapmaker...
