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
William Henry Woodward (December 11, 1834 - November 30, 1904) was an English-American printer and publisher based in St. Louis. Woodward was born in Hereford, England. He moved with his parents to the United States in 1841-2, when his father had a disagreement with the Church of England, moved to New Jersey, and was ordained an Episcopal Minister. The family moved between churches, in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin (1849 - 1851), before finally, in 1851-2, settling permanently in St. Louis. W. H. remained in Madison, where from 1849 to 1852, he apprenticed in the printing trade under Col. David Atwood, publisher of the Wisconsin Statesman. In St. Louis, he began his work in the printing trade at the Missouri Republican, at the time the main regional paper. He attained some success and leverage his savings to purchase the printing concern of George H. Hanson. Woodward establishment quickly gained reputation for solid work promptly delivered. During the Civil War, Woodward was recruited into the Missouri Home Guard and saw active service under General. E.C. Pike. In 1868 James Tiernan (1838 - September 16, 1886), a former colleague from the Missouri Republican joined the firm, after which the imprint changed to 'Woodward and Tiernan.' The business also moved to the intersection of Third and Pine. In 1872, William B. Hale also joined the partnership, and the imprint was changed again, this time to 'Woodward, Tiernan and Hale.' The business moved again, this time to the intersection of Second and Locust. Hale retired in 1882, causing the firm's imprint to revert to 'Woodward and Tiernan.' Tiernan passed away in 1886, just as the firm was preparing to move into even large quarters ate 309-315 North Third Street. Woodward acquired Tiernan's shares and reorganized the firm as the 'Woodward and Tiernan Stock Company.' Under Woodward's management the company grew to become a major concern employing some 800 people and occupying several factories. Woodward died of a heart attack at the St. Louis Club in November of 1904. More by this mapmaker...
