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.

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
Tōyō Kyōkai (東洋協會; 1898 - 1945), also known as the Oriental Society, was founded in Tokyo as the 'Taiwan Society' (台灣協會 Taiwan Kyōkai) by a leading group of Japanese political and business figures to coordinate with the government on colonial policy. The group began to publish reports on its work and set up a school in 1900 to train colonial administrators for Taiwan. After the Russo-Japanese War, the organization broadened its focus from Taiwan to East Asia as a whole and was renamed Tōyō Kyōkai. Throughout the organization's history, its leadership included leading Japanese statesmen and business figures; for instance, in 1938 the President (會長) was Mizuno Rentarō (水野錬太郎; 1868 - 1949) and the Vice President was Nagata Hidejirō (永田秀次郎; 1876 - 1943). Nagata was twice the mayor of Tokyo and held cabinet positions in the Japanese Diet, including as Minister of Colonial Affairs in 1936 – 1937. Mizuno had served in many roles in government and been involved in several key events of the Taisho and early Showa eras. He is considered partly responsible for spreading anti-Korean rumors in the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake that led to massacres of Koreans in Tokyo and Yokohama. After World War II, he was arrested as a Class A war criminal for his involvement with Dai-Nippon Koa Domei (大日本興亜同盟), an ultranationalist society that was formed in 1941 to subsume dozens of pre-existing organizations. Tōyō Kyōkai was dedicated to disseminating information about Korea, Manchuria, China, Taiwan, and other places in East Asia, especially their economies. It published a monthly magazine titled Tōyō (東洋) along with several other periodicals, research reports, and monographs on the politics, economics, and societies of various places in East Asia. It ceased functioning at the end of the war, but a new Taiwan Society was founded in Tokyo in 1950 by veterans of the colonial government and former Japanese settlers on Taiwan. It still exists today and coordinates with the Japanese and Taiwanese governments to promote mutual exchange and understanding. More by this mapmaker...
