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

Blondel la Rougery was a French publishing house founded in Paris around 1902 by the publisher and aerophile Édouard Blondel la Rougery (July 9, 1877 - July 20, 1955). The company specialized in maps and books, particularly those related to aviation and maritime themes. Over time, Blondel la Rougery became well-known for its detailed maps, which were used extensively during both World Wars. In 1934, the firm inherited the aviation and cartographic copyrights of Georges Besançon (1866 - 1934), erstwhile publisher of L'Aérophile. In 1955, his son Max Blondel la Rougery took over the business and continued to manage it until 1976. The company continued to operate until the early 21st century, with its focus remaining largely on map production. The publisher’s works are notable for their precision and artistic quality, making them highly regarded in both historical and cartographic circles. More by this mapmaker...
