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
Moïse Stern (1826 - 1915) was a French Alsatian Jewish engraver and printer based in Paris. Born in Haguenau, Stern apprenticed at the École israélite d'arts et métiers in Strasbourg, an institution he supported consistently after finding success. Upon completing his apprenticeship, Stern moved to Paris and worked with some of the most established engravers in the city. Stern teamed up with another engraver, Isidore Aumoitte (1797 - 1846), who had a small shop in the Galerie des Variétés. Sometime after Aumoitte's death, Stern fully took over the business and built a respected reputation as one of Paris' premier engravers, winning a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1867 (he was made a chevalier in the Légion d’honneur the same year). Beginning in the 1890s, his son René (1862 - 1940) took on a greater role in running the business, which was renamed Stern et fils. The firm's boutique in the Passage des Panoramas / Galerie des Variétés was officially designated a historic landmark in 1974. Although its boutique was protected, the firm itself closed shop in 2015. More by this mapmaker...
