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.

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
Eli Sheldon Glover (August 14, 1844 - May 29, 1920) was an American inventor, publisher, and artist of perspective maps, also known as bird's-eye views. Glover is remembered as one of the great artists of the golden age of American bird's-eye views. Over the course of his career, Glover produced views of many Midwestern and Western cities in the U.S. and Canada and worked in Chicago, San Francisco, and Tacoma. He started his career in Ypsilanti, Michigan, working for Albert Ruger, where he was primarily a salesman. Two years later, he moved to Chicago, where he established the Merchants Lithographing Company. Unfortunately for Glover, his first foray into business for himself ended quickly, when the Merchants Lithographing Company was destroyed by the 1871 Great Chicago Fire. Glover then began roaming around the country, producing views of the areas through which he traveled. In 1872 - 1873, Glover produced views of Colorado. He lived in Salt Lake City in 1874, and used the city as a base of operations, traveling and creating views in Wyoming, Utah, and Montana. Glover and his wife lived in Los Angeles in 1876 and 1877, and Glover produced sixteen views of different California cities over these two years. Late in his career, Glover designed and manufactured a prospector's drill that was used in Alaska. He also operated a binder and notebook business. While the majority of his artistic output was lithograph city views, he was also an accomplished painter and created many fine landscape canvases during his lifetime. More by this mapmaker...
