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
John Sherer (fl. c. 1850 - 1875) was a publisher and freemason active in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the mid-19th century. He published a work entitled The Masonic Ladder: or the Nine Steps to Ancient Freemasonry, which included a catalog of all of his publications associated with freemasonry. He also issued a number of broadside 'carpets', in fact large linen backed posters meant to teach the progression and virtues of freemasonry. He also published a large-format Masonic themed view of Solomon's Temple. He is listed in the as a publisher in 1863 Cincinnati Directory, but by 1870, he's listing has changed to 'Masonic Publisher.' His birth a death dates are remarkably elusive. More by this mapmaker...
